St Michaels Lodge No. 10639 was formed approximately 5 years ago. Our opening night at the Falcon Hotel in Bude was attended by some 200 Brothers including 2 Grand Primos, 4 Past Grand Primos, The Grand Secretary, The Grand Chamberlain and many Provincial Grand Officers from North Cornwall, North Devon, Essex and Scotland as well as Banner Lodge Officers.

The Lodge flourished from that memorable opening night and very soon outgrew our premises in the Falcon Hotel.  At this time we moved to a local country club where we met for some 3 years prior to the change of management at the club. Then we moved to our present premises in the Bude Haven Hotel. One of our Brothers is the resident barman on Lodge nights, City Waiter with a difference. Various Brothers affiliated to us from near and far, in fact 2 of our members live in London.

We have initiated a considerable number of Brothers and now have a very strong Lodge. Over the last 4 years we have raised one K.O.M. and four Primos. In 2008 the Lodge has 5 members attending PGL, 3 collars and 2 delegates.  Unfortunately we have lost 2 hard working members of our Lodge, the late Brothers Tim Edwards and Stan Molaneux, both primos.  Brother Tim was an excellent entertainments officer (he was well known in all the hostelries in the surrounding area) and Brother Stan our treasurer. Both were given full, very well attended, Buffalo Funerals. 

Brother Derek Scott K.O.M and his good lady wife run a weekly bingo session raising funds for the Lodge, we also have the occasional car boot sales and an annual Cricket Match and Fun Day.

The well known ex snooker world champion, Peter Ebdon, came to Bude and in one night raised a considerable sum for the testicular cancer charity.

The Lodge meets at the Bude Haven Hotel, Flexbury Avenue, Bude every Sunday at 8pm with the exception of Bank Holiday weekends. Any fellow buffaloes wishing to attend will receive a warm and fraternal reception.
