On Saturday June 29th, over 150 people took their next regular step in Freemasonry. 650 people attended this once in a lifetime moment.  BIG 1-2-3 was four months in planning and 14 hours in the delivery with a core team of 25 people, supported by over 50 lodges in the province.  
For Dan, who took his third regular step in Freemasonry, it was an emotional experience.
"As one of the brethren raised at BIG 1-2-3, I stepped into the Grand Temple with nervous excitement. The emotion and tension were palpable, especially under the portentous red lights that bathed the massive temple in an otherworldly glow. The nerves turned to calm serenity and awe as we walked onto the chequered floor and fell under the watch of the silent onlookers, and the spell of the sound of violins echoing around us. The love and dedication of those who organised and orchestrated the ceremonies on that day was evident throughout, and I cannot sufficiently praise them for their work and dedication."

For Nii, who took his third regular step in Freemasonry, it has opened up a massive friendship network.
"Words fail me in describing my raising at BIG 1-2-3. It was an incredible experience. Just as I exited the Covent Garden station, I saw loads of the brethren. There were men dressed in black, all masons, and all headed to the Big 1-2-3.  The raising ceremony that made me a Master Mason was humbling, and steeped in the old traditions of operative masons. It took place in the main temple, with its high ceilings, beautiful architecture, and golden thrones across the altar. The scale, the music, and the lights completely blew me away! I have no idea how they managed to choreograph this, but I am truly thankful and humbled to be in the company of so many other masons on such a memorable day; I am proud to call you my brothers."
