Initiation Ceremony – 10th April 2025.

On the 10th of April, we were delighted to initiate a new Brother into our Lodge. The ceremony was conducted with great care and tradition, and we thank all who took part in making it such a memorable evening.

The Worshipful Master invited WBro Entwistle into the chair of King Solomon to conduct the ceremony, bringing his usual warmth and experience to the proceedings.

Bro Enion delivered the 1st Degree Working Tools with confidence and clarity, and also gave the first half of the 1st Degree Charge to the new initiate. The second half was ably delivered by our lodge mentor WBro Spiby.

It was a fantastic night of Freemasonry, fellowship, and food! We look forward to walking this journey with our new Brother.
