In Memoriam

It is with great sadness, that I have to report that the following Brethren have
st
passed to the Grand Lodge Above, since 1 January 2021

Sadly, Somersetshire Brethren have also lost family members and friends; our
sincere thoughts are with all.

I would also like to remember the following Brethren, sadly missed by their family and
friends:

Bro Cyril Sidney Rex Fling 15th March 2021 Past Member Somerdale Isle of Wedmore

Bro Monty Austin 18th March 2021 Past Member of Science
Bro Harry Lawes 25th May 2021 Past member of Science

There may be light at the end of the tunnel as regards brethren being able to attend
Meetings again, after such a long suspension of our activities, although Brethren may
wish to be cautious.

Despite the excellent attendance at our Open House meetings, unfortunately many
brethren are unable to use or do not have the technology, which would otherwise
enable more and regular contact.

I have been keeping in touch with the Lodge Almoners and Secretaries on a regular
basis and encouraging contact with their members. There are many older brethren who
cannot manage, are unable to or will not attend lodges, needing company and/or
assistance.

Your Almoner can only help if you keep him informed of any other brother who may
need assistance. I also need to be kept informed, please and be assured that I am here
to offer any assistance whenever required.
