NOTICE
Please accept my apologies for the lack of information for the January and February meetings. I have been travelling (Again).
Any brother interested in taking over as Web Master should contact me ASAP. Otherwise the site may have to be abandoned as I will soon be leaving Wingham to live in Eastern Ontario.
I have enjoyed recording the lodge's activities on-line for all to share and it would be a pity if all of this information were to be lost.

MAY 1, 2007 MEETING
This particular meeting was avery special one in the long history of Wingham Lodge.
The evening started outside the lodge, at the home of RW Bro Lee Grove, who is recovering from a stroke. Our Grand Mster, MW Bro Gary L Atkinson, the Worshipful Master and others visited Lee to present him with a gift in appreciation of his long service to Wingham Lodge as Treasurer as well as in many other offices.
Within the Lodge, the Grand Master presented VW Bro Gordon Leggatt and W Bro Fred Lewis with their 60-year service pins alluding to the changes they must have seen and their many years of faithful service. MW Bro Gary Atkinson also presented 50-year pins to Bro Jim Lee and W Bro Fred McGee as well as 25-year pins to RW Bro Norm White and W Bro Jamie Armstrong of Teeswater.
The Installation and Investiture ceremonies followed, conducted by W Bro Iain Henderson, after which the brethren enjoyed food, fellowship and a special cake in the banquet room.
