Prince David Lodge 4915 is known in the Province of Surrey as the Shotgun Shooting Lodge.
Being a specialist lodge its members all enjoy clay pigeon shooting, game shooting and Freemasonry.
Its members all belong to different lodges spread across the province. With membership growing year by year, it arranges fund raising events, as well as supporting other charity shooting competitions, introducing many new shooters to the fun and excitement of clay pigeon shooting, attracting new candidates to Freemasonry.
We also have a social shooting group that meets once a month to meet at a different shooting ground where members, partners, family, friends and non Freemasons come together to have fun while enjoying each other’s company.
In the last two years we have had three candidates and 6 joining members proving that this simple idea works and our retention is also very good.
The National Sports Masonic Association arranges a National clay pigeon competition annually in different provinces throughout the UK.
The province of Surrey has won this prestigious award a number times over the last 25 years.
Members of Prince David Lodge decided this year to enter a team into the competition,after meeting another Surrey Freemason W. Bro Paul Hibbert from St Catherine’s Priory Lodge at Bisley Lodge LOI Festival who agreed to come and join our group.
Surrey team made up of members of Prince David Lodge 4915, Nigel Foreman, Neil Eggington, Adrian Pink, Ian Scott, Tim Robertson, Mike Bushby and Paul Hibbert.
We travelled to Dartford Clay shooting ground at Dartford in Kent on Saturday 12th September 2026.
Nearly 200 shooters from many Provinces across the UK, Cornwall, Devon, Wales, Lancashire, Middlesex, Berkshire, East Lancashire, Yorkshire,Surrey.
After a welcome by West Kent Province our hosts, we headed out to start the competition.
The 100 clay pigeon targets were shot from different stands set in the woods. After completing all of the 12 stands we returned to the club house and enjoyed some lunch and awaited the results.
The Provincial Grand Master of West Kent welcomed all those attending and who had supported the day raising funds for Tommy’s Charity, West Kent’s chosen charity.
The results were announced with Surrey being announced as the overall winners in the team event, and Surrey’s own Paul Hibbert winning the individual high gun.
A great fund raising event for Tommy’s children’s charity. Over £5000.00 raised at a great day well organised by West Kent Masonic Association.
The Surrey Masonic Sports Association have now put an application into the National Masonic Sports Association to be considered to put on the National Competition in 2028 which will be held in the Province of Surrey.
A fantastic fund raising opportunity for the 2030 Festival.
We look forward to defending our trophy in Somerset next year!!
