Cast your minds back to August, when most of us were sunning ourselves on holiday, the Brethren of Hartington Lodge were busy putting all their summer practice to good use! After a summer of practice, we were Initiating not one but two Brothers into the wonderful world of Freemasonry. Both Initiates thoroughly enjoyed the ceremony and the experience and have been regular attendees since.

Staffordshire also had their Deputy Provincial Grand Master - David Thomas present, the brainchild behind this initiative and Derbyshire had their Assistant Provincial Grand Master - Martin Giles, who was willing to get involved with the walking!...

Our Tyler, flying the flag for Hartington Lodge, at Derbyshire Lodge of Installed Masters. Having not been inside a Lodge room for a meeting, for about fifteen months, it made a refreshing change. He did feel like the odd one out, being greeted by a sea of Grand Lodge and Provincial Grand Lodge Officers! At least, that was until, our three newly admitted members entered....

Wednesday 2nd June saw Hartington Lodge, meet and conduct its first ceremony in a long time! A Passing was carried out for Brother Marc Anthony.

Wednesday 7th March, saw Hartington Lodge No 1085 first meeting since March. The Grand Master had suspended all meetings until July, when restrictions were eased. Unfortunately this came, after our July meeting so we were unable to meet in July. It was a great evening, albeit a little different to usual meetings, as only six members were able to attend and it was all socially distanced! Still it felt great to be back!
