The Troodos Pride of Cyprus Lodge No 10595 was opened on the 2nd December 1996.
The main reason for its opening was to keep the number of lodges on the island to an amount that would keep the island’s PGL viable. It was decided that it would be mainly a civilian lodge, and would meet in Limassol rather than on one of the military camps on Cyprus. This would make it easier for us to get visitors to lodge without having to go through security checks.
The first meeting was held on the 5th January 1997 in a local pub called the Ploughman’s Inn, whose landlord, Gordon, was also a Buff. As in many circumstances the Pub changed hands and we were forced to find an alternative meeting place. The Lodge now meets in the UKCA club in Limassol (the Chairman of the club was also a Buff).
The Lodge meets every alternate Sunday at 10 a.m. We meet with regular attendances of around 14 to 17 brethren each meeting. Visitors are, of course, always welcome.
