Ron JONES St. Barnabas 6315

Have found the site very useful and informative. I have been able to print various pages of interest to me. Keep up the good work.

 

S E Demwell Westcombe Park 4241

Good web site but Westcombe Park is not listed as a member of West Kent on this site could this be amended, also how do I get on the mailing list for the WK News.

Apologies for the non-listing likely due to un-noticed changes.  Now done.  All Brn., of the Province are on the mailing list for WKNEWS automatically.  Please contact your Secretary or Fred Halligan. - Webmaster.

 

W Bro James Edward Ashmore, Union Waterloo No 13

Lots of v interesting info thanks-the layout is rather busy and confused however and doesn't aid quick searching/navigation.

Grateful for your comment.  Yes, this is known in-house and work is already in hand on a new and improved, we hope, layout.  Let us know what you think after Christmas(06).  - Webmaster.

GREAT WEBSITE, VERY INTERESTING.

 

John Simpson 9477 Tudor Rose Lodge Hampshire & I.O.W.

Seems to be a problem with the site having one screen overlaid on the entry screen

Seems OK here.  Is your screen set to 1024 x 768?   Please email screen print(s) of pb.  -  Webmaster.

I AM TRYING TO FIND A LODGE IN DEAL, THIS IS WHERE MY DAUGHTER LIVES, AND I COULD VISIT WHILST ON HOLIDAY

 

Try contacting Prov East Kent   -  Webmaster.

 

Anon

Is there any history of the Masonic lodges in Kent available?

 

Try contacting Kent Museum of Masonry   -  Webmaster.

 

Peter Martin - Biggin Hill

Most informative but it would be nice if it were a little more up to date!

 

The updating dates prior to your posting of 26Mar, are: 24Mar, 21Mar, 20Mar, 19Mar, (major nav changes) 10Mar, 09Mar.  Recent updates are:  28Mar(today), 27Mar, 26Mar.  We try!  Also, please check you are using the correct URL as there are old ones around that will give very out of date pages.  Please see previous entry.   -  Webmaster.

 

Mike Thurman Letchworth GC Lodge 5109 (etc.) 

Excellent site - but a small suggestion - your domain name is hard to remember & needs a search engine to find (www.oakleyhouse.clara.net/WKHomeGCH.html). I see from Nominet that WKFM.INFO is free - it would only cost you around £10 a year or less..

The long-time & widely published URL for the Prov web site is: http://www.freemasons-westkent.org.uk, and not as you quote -  Webmaster.

 

Tony Johnson. St Francis Lodge 3086. EC. Eastern Division. South Africa. 

 

Enjoyed browsing through your website. Fraternal greetings to all of your Brethren.

Matt Dillon. West Kent Scriveners Lodge No.9799

 

Great Site-lots of information. Keep up the good work.

Peter Smith North Kent Lodge 2499

 

Great to see that the Province is using the website to promote openness, but unless it is regularly updated with current information, dramatically looses its professionalsim. Suggest the Province uses one of its many members to assist.

'looses', 'professionalsim' ? - Webmaster

Noticed a comment from Kevin Davis of Saint Alfege Lodge 4634 regarding a silver spoon. North Kent was formed in 1895 and used to own its own premises, included everything for the dining with its own lodge banner motif, moved 1985, much went.

Sad story.  Can anyone throw some light on this? - Webmaster.

My Paternal Grandfather was a Mason and came from Kent he emigrated to Australia after WWI, is there any way I could find out what lodge he belonged to? His name was Arthur Cane he was an Interior Decorator by trade.
