ChildWatch Suite 1080, 48 Par-la-Ville Road, Hamilton. Phone 234-2858. Website ChildWatch.bm. A men's group interested in changes in the law to better serve fathers of non-custodial children. It wants divorced fathers to be given equal access to their children. It states: Presently men are regarded as an ATM machine rather than a parent. Fathers are unilaterally made in essence to be third-rate parents after divorce or separation. They are alienated from their child in many ways. Even if the mother died or gave up custody the responsibility for rearing the child would go to the grandmother. Plus, some grandfathers are being denied access to their grandchildren. ChildWatch has called on legislators to adopt similar laws to that of Denmark, which recently passed a shared parenting law."

Freemasonry in Bermuda There are three Grand Lodges represented in Bermuda: The United Grand Lodge of England with 5 Lodges under a Grand Inspector; District Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Bermuda with 4 Chapters under a Grand Superintendent; and the Provincial Grand Lodge of Bermuda, Irish Constitution under the Grand Lodge of Ireland with 4 Lodges (postal address is The Provincial Grand Lodge of Bermuda, Irish Constitution, PO Box HM 2295, Hamilton HM JX, Bermuda).

In late May 2006, there was the Consecration of The District Grand Lodge of Bermuda on the Grand Registry of the United Grand Lodge of England. The District Grand Lodge of Bermuda embraces all five local lodges of the English Constitution. The first Provincial Grand Master of the District Grand Lodge of Bermuda is Robert William Rego, JP. A Hamilton businessman, he was upgraded from the status he has held since 2004 as Grand Inspector of local English Freemasonry when he took over from Charles W. Kempe, who was some ten years in the post. They were in succession to a line dating to 1928 when the first Grand Inspector was appointed.

Freemasonry existed in Bermuda in 1744-45 (earliest historical record), when the Earl of Strathmore, then Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of both England and Scotland, appointed Governor Allured Popple as Provincial Grand Master for the Islands of Bermuda.

Oldest Lodges are Prince Alfred No 233 (EC), originally chartered under the Moderns in 1792 as No 507, and later in 1801 under the Ancients, Lodge St. George No 200 (SC), date of Charter 7th August 1797 and Atlantic Phoenix No 224 (EC) date of Charter 9th August 1797. The latter two celebrated 200 years in 1997.

Some other organizations include Royal Order of Scotland, Royal Arch, Rose Croix and Knights Templar. 

The Masonic Temple is at Khyber Pass, Warwick

Hibiscus Garden Club It began in 1959 when members of the St. Mary's Church Guild with a passion for flowers and gardening sought to further their interest by applying for membership in the Garden Club of Bermuda. Their applications were not accepted presumably because they were all 'coloured' women.  The Warwick ladies decided they would form their own club. The name 'Hibiscus' was chosen because of the popular flower that adds its beauty to hedges and roadside foliage especially in the spring and summer. The first meeting was at the residence of Mrs. Ruth Simons at Cedar Hill. The 11 people present were Mrs. Simons, who was elected president, Miss Julia Lightbourn and Mesdames Ruth Wainwright, Edna Conyers, Laura Bean, Mildred Smith, Faith Steed, Victor Scott, Horace Davis and Louise Wilson. Also at that meeting was Reginald Ming, Government's first Heritage officer, who according to an excerpt from the minutes of the meeting gave the ladies helpful suggestions and promised to use his office to get them affiliated with an outstanding club in England.  The Hibiscus Club is not restricted to growing hibiscus, but is interested in all types of plants and vegetation and all forms of floricultures, gardening and landscaping. Meets second Wednesday each month, 1 pm at St. Mary's Church Hall, Lorraine Drive, off Middle Road, Warwick.
