Fraternal Visit to Phoenix Lodge No. 94, January 2017
Submitted by Wayne RumleyThe first outing of 2017 and what an enjoyable night it was.
The business of the evening was the dedication of a new lodge banner. Donated to the lodge by the Rutter family brethren (father and two sons'), The Assistant Provincial Grand Master, W Bro Simon Craig Steele received the banner for dedication and the Provincial Grand Chaplain, Canon Ron Black gave the dedication prayer, including a brief history of Phoenix Lodge.
It was the first time many of the brethren had seen a banner dedication, myself included, and it was yet another enjoyable experience, further increasing the masonic knowledge of all those present.
The festive board was equally enjoyable, and for a pleasant change it was sausage and chips rather than the oft expexted meat and two veg.
Overall, a very enjoyable evening, and a great start to the year.
