It is always a special evening when you are able to initiate a candidate that is new to Masonry. It celebrates both growth and the future prosperity of the Lodge and Freemasonry in general. This evening was very special as not only were we able to welcome, now, Brother Manminder Matharu to the Lodge but also our first Sikh member. A truly special event.

The Lodge was honoured by the attendance of our Visiting Officer W. Bro Paul Hayward representing the Provincial Grand Master along with a number of visiting Brethren both from our own Warwickshire Province as well as visitors from Staffordshire and Northamptonshire & Huntingdonshire.

W. Bro Howard Smith also presented a Grand Lodge Certificate to Bro. Cristian Pache to officially recognise his being raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason.

This was followed by a very enjoyable, and filling, festive board when £163 was raised for the Fisher House charity.
