The Newest Member of Border Lodge No.2475
Meet our newest recipient of Provincial Honours
The phrase 'couldn't have happened to a nicer guy' has never been more apt than when applied to Border lodge's very own Almoner and Charity steward - Kevin Smith
​
Kevin has recently been honoured with the position of Provincial Grand Steward ProvGStwd for Hampshire and Isle of Wight. Every member of border congratulates him on that appointment and we are sure he will do himself and the lodge proud.
​
Kevin is a true Scotsman, born in Dundee and a connoisseur of Whiskey. He entered into Freemasonry in 1972, his mother lodge being Hilton St Andrew 1220 for whom Kevin's grandfather was a founder member in 1920. After moving southwards Kevin became a joining, and very active, member of Border Lodge no. 2475 having twice been in the masters chair.
​
Check out the Gallery or click on the picture of Kevin, for some pictures of Kevin and his Scottish freemason friends when they visited Border Lodge for his installation.
​
Since taking early retirement Kevin and his wife, Ella, have been ticking off holiday destinations from their bucket list and spending time in Australia with their daughter.
