April 2008 

Members of St John's Lodge No.328, are shortly to be making a bid to Grand lodge, for the granting of a Bi-Centenary warrent. If granted, this will reverse a ruling made by Grand Lodge in 1909 that St John's Lodge had not been in continuous working for 200 years. At the time of the earlier bid, the lodge was unable to prove this fact, due to the lodge minute books being lost in a fire at the secretarys house in the early 1840's.

Should the application to Grand Lodge be unsuccessful, the lodge intends to celebrate with its sister lodges in South Devon its 200 years of existance and the lodge will then have to wait until 2047 to hold a Bi-centenary meeting

Further details to be published by the working party over the coming months
