Great Masonic Memories Made In November
Bro John Mabey, now foot loose and fancy free as a master Mason, rekindled links with Gatehouse Lodge in November to watch an initiation. A terrific ceremony with two candidates being initiated at the same time, both really great blokes. Following on, the Brethren sat down together for a festive board where everyone enjoyed the opulence of the surroundings, superb company and excellent food.

Following the Masonic theme, Bro Ian Harper, in his Knights Templar garb, visited the annual bash of the Greek Knights Templars in Athens at the end of November. His role being to support the Great Seneschal of Germany (second highest Templar Knight in German) as principle visitor, representing the Grand Master of Germany. The reception and hosting being simply perfect and the surroundings totally steeped in history. Ian now has personal invites to visit Finland and Rumania next year. This is what making memories is all about !
