Fraternal Visit to Vedra Lodge No. 3137, October 2016

Submitted by Wayne Rumley

We had a superb visit to Vedra.

The business of the evening was the initiation of a Mr Stephen Williamson, who became the latest brother to join the Craft. A stand-in team performed the ceremony admirably, only receiving the information at the last moment that their Worshipful Master was otherwise detained with work.

Well known as a dining lodge, the festive board was not to be missed, and consisted of 5 courses, all worthy of upholding their reputation.

Meeting - September 2016

Submitted by Wayne Rumley

The first meeting after recess is usually a quiet one for us, and for this reason we rarely do any 'work' on the night. That's not to say we don't put every effort into having a good meeting!

We had Fraternal visits from Amity Lodge No. 3193 and Nautilus Lodge No. 4259. Whilst both of their Worshipful Masters were predisposed at work, Amity was well represented by their IPM, W Bro Richard Storey, and Nautilus by Bro Les Adams (JW), who delivered his first visitors' response at the festive board.

Meeting - June 2016

Submitted by Wayne Rumley

We signed off for recess with an easy one. Owing to a holiday mix-up, we didn't have a bar steward for the festive board, so it was decided we would have a very short meeting, formalities only, then head off to the local curry house.

We had a good collection of fraternal visitors from Thornhill Lodge No 3216, Peace and Unity Lodge No 6312, Lodge of Harmony No 4224 and Ernest Dixon Lodge No 7856.

Fraternal Visit to Fawcett Lodge No. 661

Submitted by Wayne Rumley

Another great visit last night at Fawcett Lodge.

We were witness to the initiation of a new brother, Alan Elliott, and I'm sure he'll be a welcome addition to their lodge.

Vistors were out in force, with fifteen lodges represented on the night, and they all saw a well performed ceremony by the stand-in Worshipful Master, Past Masters', and other officers in the lodge.

A good time was had by all at the festive board, and for the third visit in a row, I won the raffle! I'm sure they're fixing it so that I'll go back!

Looking forward to the next one.

Fraternal Visit to Fenwick Lodge No. 1389

Submitted by Wayne Rumley

We had another great visit last night.

A very friendly reception by the Brethren, and good demonstration of the Second Degree in the Lodge. The usual good fayre at the Festive Board and some excellent harmony, too.

As the visiting Master, I then went and pulled my own ticket out for the raffle draw! I won at Lodge Stewart on Tuesday night, too, but I didn't pull that ticket out!

Visit to Lodge Stewart No. 4261

Submitted by Wayne Rumley

We had our Fraternal visit to Lodge Stewart on the evening of Tuesday 17th May, 2016.

We were lucky enough to be there on the night of a 'live' inititiation, of a Mr Ian Wilson. First class ceremony delivered by the WM and PMs', and from the way Ian handled himself during the course of the ceremony, he will be a fine addition to their Lodge, and indeed Freemasonry in general.

Corned-beef pie at the Festive Board, too!
