A meeting of two halves and a tale, 60 years apart !
St Martins Lodge had a spectacle of a meeting on the 4th of March 2024.
On one side, an initiation for newly made brother, Bro Lee Jones, who is their fourth person to join in 2024 alone! He was taken around with grace, and in front of over 60 masons.
But the night was not just his, with W Bro Michael Ramsbotham celebrating not only 60 years in Freemasonry, but also his 89th Birthday the same day!
The DPGM VW Bro Neil Robertson was on hand to carry out the presentation of the long service certificate and they were able to give him letters from the Lodges he is an honorary member of, this from being an active provincial officer and part of the consecration team, as well as the two other Lodges he had been Master of, as well as a number of gifts and a new Masters Collar, plated and engraved with the names of all 124 previous Masters, in honour of Michael.
The Festive board had more surprises for him and the newly made brother and we had an amazing evening, raising a nice sum for the Young Carers Charity, of Michael's choosing, through the raffle.
With two more initiates in the pipeline, hopefully for Big123, the lodge is excited for what the rest of this year will bring.
