Christmas Greetings from the W.M.

As we approach another festive season, I would urge each and every Brother out there to actively maintain and demonstrate Benevolence and Charity by reaching out to those in need, lending a listening ear to the lonely and helping those less fortunate whenever we can. Remembering how we were all received into the Craft, poor and penniless, let us take the opportunity to practice those truly Masonic virtues and hopefully make someone’s Christmas truly special.
Wishing each and every one of you a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year (and above all, a safe one!)

Merry Christmas

It didn’t curb his enthusiasm whatsoever, and he even joined us many times on the zoom platform to keep in touch with everyone.

No, I mean it went really well

The Passing ceremony to the second degree went really well. No, I mean it went really well. There was some change to the senior officers what with the Worshipful Master being away on business, so our DC Keith Bateman stepped into the WM chair to deliver what is his most favourite ceremony and the Assistant DC stepped up to the office of DC. The Senior Warden and Junior Warden, both being experienced Masons comfortably filled their Continue reading “No, I mean it went really well”
