Back from recess with a bang. A double second-degree ceremony with great ritual from all involved, kicked off by Glen and Howell, the candidates, giving perfect answers to the questions put to them.  We also welcomed a joining member, David, who has recently moved to Sunderland.  He came along to our June meeting and enjoyed it so much he completed a form there and then.

50+ in attendance made up of over 30 of our own members and over 20 visitors, with the majority staying to dine.

About half of them stayed back within the Lodge room for the, now regular, post-closing photograph. A fine body of men.

To be one, ask one!
