We were due to Pass a member this month, but due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to. Thanks to one of our regular guests, volunteering to act as the candidate at the last moment, our Worshipful Master and his team were able to rehearse the ceremony so they should be word perfect in March.
This month the members were treated to an Demonstration of the initiation ceremony. One of the members provided an explanation of the symbolism of what was being demonstrated. After that we adjourned to the Christmas themed Festive board, during which Christmas Carol's were sung.
On Wednesday 12th November we met to welcome a new Initiate into William de Warenne Lodge. Several Lodge members had a part to play in the ceremony which was followed by the Festive board during which we remembered all those who had served in HM Forces over the years. W. Bro Tam rounded off the evening by leading the singing of wartime songs.
William de Warenne Lodge were delighted to welcome our newly elected Master, W. Bro. Chris Abbott, to the chair of our lodge. He is seen here with the then PGM designate W. Bro. Neil Austin, the official guest.
