Cancellation – Stated Communication in April

After careful consideration and consultation it has been agreed that the Stated Communication planned for North Sea Armed Forces Lodge #829 for Saturday, 4 April 2020, is cancelled.

It is expected that the restrictions presently in place within Bremen and the surrounding area will be increased over the coming days but, regardless of when such restrictions are promulgated, the health and welfare of our brethren, their friends and family, comes first.

At present there is no firm decision on the Third Monday in April, which will be scheduled but might be cancelled also, depending on our situation closer to the time.

All brethren are requested to remain in touch with one another, to remember our Principles and, if within the length of their cable tow, to help and assist those others around them in their time of need.
