At this meeting they went onto vote in the officers and our name The Quarrymen. Over the next three months the officers worked tirelessly behind the scenes in order to set The Quarrymen up and make sure all paperwork was completed correctly in order for The Quarrymen to receive our charter at The Widows Sons National Rally in Bishop Auckland.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; text-align: var(--text-align); background-color: var(--nv-site-bg); font-size: var(--bodyfontsize); letter-spacing: var(--bodyletterspacing); text-transform: var(--bodytexttransform);\">The Quarrymen\u2019s first outing was to the Classic Car &amp; Bike Show at the Knole Freemasons Hall. Although the weather was less than desirable it was a fantastic day. At this event we had members from The Southern Chapter of the Widows Sons (Hampshire &amp; IOW Chapter), The Stonecutters (Wiltshire Chapter) who are The Quarrymen\u2019s mother Chapter and of course The Quarrymen (Dorset Chapter). This event was the first time The Quarrymen were able to start selling merchandise and start raising their profile as a newly formed chapter.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; text-align: var(--text-align); background-color: var(--nv-site-bg); font-size: var(--bodyfontsize); letter-spacing: var(--bodyletterspacing); text-transform: var(--bodytexttransform);\">Next up was the Distinguished Gentleman\u2019s Ride (DGR) which was held on the 22nd of May. There were over 700 bikers at this event and they rode from Poole Quay to Bournemouth. This specific DGR raised over \u00a360,000 for Movember Foundation who do an amazing job supporting Men\u2019s Mental Health and Prostate Cancer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; text-align: var(--text-align); background-color: var(--nv-site-bg); font-size: var(--bodyfontsize); letter-spacing: var(--bodyletterspacing); text-transform: var(--bodytexttransform);\">The next outing The Quarrymen attended was to our Mother Chapter, The Stonecutters AGM at Salisbury Masonic Hall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; text-align: var(--text-align); background-color: var(--nv-site-bg); font-size: var(--bodyfontsize); letter-spacing: var(--bodyletterspacing); text-transform: var(--bodytexttransform);\">As the DGR was so successful there was a wrap up event that was held at Destination Triumph in Christchurch. Again a number of The Quarrymen attended and had a great time, yet again raising the profile of The Quarrymen, the Widows Sons and Freemasonry in general. It was also a Quarryman founder that was the top fundraiser for this particular ride.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; text-align: var(--text-align); background-color: var(--nv-site-bg); font-size: var(--bodyfontsize); letter-spacing: var(--bodyletterspacing); text-transform: var(--bodytexttransform);\">As you can imagine by this time the excitement was extremely high as we were now very close to receiving The Quarrymen\u2019s Charter on the last weekend in July.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; text-align: var(--text-align); background-color: var(--nv-site-bg); font-size: var(--bodyfontsize); letter-spacing: var(--bodyletterspacing); text-transform: var(--bodytexttransform);\">The week finally arrived that The Quarrymen would receive their Charter when very sadly and suddenly our President Graham Taylor whilst out on a ride passed away. As you can imagine, everyone that knew Graham was extremely sad and upset.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; text-align: var(--text-align); background-color: var(--nv-site-bg); font-size: var(--bodyfontsize); letter-spacing: var(--bodyletterspacing); text-transform: var(--bodytexttransform);\">With the help and support of The Stonecutters and The Widows Sons, The Quarrymen managed to navigate through their period of mourning and go on to receive their Charter at The Widows Sons National Rally. The Quarrymen\u2019s Charity Officer Tony Collins very kindly stepped up and received the Charter on behalf of the Graham and The Quarrymen.

The amount raised was a huge amount of \u00a31700.

This was a much needed and enjoyable evening with lots of laughs and stories being shared.

This was a well attended meeting with 26 members and non members in attendance. There was a buffet put on for all those that attended. At the AGM our Vice President gave a speech about how The Quarrymen and Widows Sons had formed. Certificates were also presented to those founders and members in attendance.

This was an impressive evening with a truly amazing ceremony where one of The Quarrymen acted as the candidate for an intuition ceremony which was professionally and skilfully done by the Worshipful Master Andrew Ward and his officers. Following the ceremony we were all treated to a truly memorable and wonderful festive board. An auction was held with produce that was produced locally to Blandford and was sold along with other kind donations. A staggering amount of money was raised at the festive board of \u00a3800 of which the WM and members of the Lodge very kindly gave The Quarrymen \u00a3400 to go towards their chosen Charity \u201cThe Broken Column Association\u201d.

WBro Tristan had a massive amount of support on this memorable evening. It was particularly special for WBro Tristan as he was allowed to wear the traditional freemasonry clothing from the Philippines which is where he was born.

One of these is if one Chapter is visiting another Chapters area they are to notify the area which they plan on visiting with the view to either meeting up or just out of courtesy.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; text-align: var(--text-align); background-color: var(--nv-site-bg); font-size: var(--bodyfontsize); letter-spacing: var(--bodyletterspacing); text-transform: var(--bodytexttransform);\">Whilst at the National Rally Tony Collins made contact with numerous members of other Widows Sons Chapters. One of these was Alan \u201cSinbad\u201d Chinn of the Wyvern Chapter. Alan informed Tony that he would be giving a speech to the Women&#8217;s Institute in Motcombe on the 12th of October and invited The Quarrymen. The speech was very informative and well received by all in attendance.

Six of The Quarrymen\u2019s founding members attended and were treated to a fantastic 2nd ceremony which saw Bro Tom step in at short notice. This was followed by an excellent explanation of the extended 2nd tracing board by WBro Doug Day. As usual the festive board did not disappoint and everyone that attended had a great time.

This includes giving Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts the incentive to go on and become Master Mason which then allows them to become a fully patched Widow&#8217;s Son.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; text-align: var(--text-align); background-color: var(--nv-site-bg); font-size: var(--bodyfontsize); letter-spacing: var(--bodyletterspacing); text-transform: var(--bodytexttransform);\">On the 9th of November 2022 eleven Quarrymen attended the Broadstone Lodge 8641. The reason for this visit was for the raising of the secretary of The Quarrymen to the sublime degree of Master Mason. The Quarrymen received a warm welcome and enjoyed the ceremony as well as the festive board where the Junior Warden Bro Phil Evans read out a poem to the visiting Quarrymen.

This presentation was exceptional and was enjoyed by all in attendance. It was fantastic to have Freemasons from neighbouring provinces in attendance as well which just added to the atmosphere.

They meet at the Surbiton Masonic Hall, which is steeped in history and is a magnificent building. The Vice President and Secretary of The Quarrymen attended this unique lodge.
