Serving 75 years!
20 February 26
The Central Coast Lodge 2001
In November 2025, W Bro Samuel Beadsworth celebrated one of the rarer milestones a mason can achieve – 75 years’ service!
Bro Alex Mountain, W Bro David Walker, Bro Simon Pierce and our new brother, Bro Adam Graham, joined together to present the Certificate on behalf of the Grand Master, MW Bro Khris Albano.
Bro Mountain gave a heartfelt speech, saying: ‘This Certificate we present tonight is far more than paper and ink. It is a symbol of a lifetime of fidelity, of friendships formed and cherished, of quiet acts of kindness and counsel freely given. It reflects not just longevity, but loyalty, integrity, and love of the Craft.’
The event was held at his retirement village, and brought together his brother masons, friends and family, down to his great grandchildren!
Sam was initiated in May 1950 in Lodge Blaxland Temperance No 346 and completed his three degrees that same year. Over his long masonic career, he has served in many posts, including several terms as Master.
When he and his wife Hazel moved to the Central Coast, he affiliated with Lodge Morning Star No 410 (now closed) and then Central Coast Lodge No 2001 and has been a regular Senior Member until recently when his health forced him to slow down, but his interest in Freemasonry has not diminished!
Thank you, W Bro Samuel, for your contribution to Freemasonry.
