Double Passing for Bro. Lee Rose & Bro. James Brooke
Our regular meeting held on 5th December 2022 was a Double Passing for Bro. Lee Rose & Bro. James Brooke followed by our traditional Christmas White Table Evening.
This regular meeting was another special occasion for Lee & James. Being very close friends they were able to complete their 2nd Degree together.
Although Lee had just undergone a knee operation nothing was going to stop him being passed with his great buddy due to his mobility problem, which was easily overcome.
(see picture below).
WM W. Bro. Marc Terry opened the lodge, then proceeded to carry out the early part of the proceedings before inviting W. Bro Phil Lambkin to occupy the Chair of King Solomon to carry out the ceremony.
The Senior Deacon Bro. Peter Bowden-Rooke, so ably assisted by the Junior Deacon Bro. Russ King, conducted both candidates around the Lodge.
Bro. Russ King, was responsible in taking Lee Rose around in a wheel chair due to his mobility problem, and what a marvellous job they did.
Bro. Peter Bowden-Rooke continued with the same high standard in his presentation of the Working Tools.
On conclusion, the Worshipful Master, with the acting Worshipful Master, congratulated Bro. Lee and Bro. James on taking their next step in Freemasonry.
The meeting was then followed with our traditional Christmas White Table Evening which was well attended by members, their wives, partners and prospective Masons.
The Festive Board proceeded with the usual traditional fare.
Our resident professional entertainer W. Bro. Mick Smith compared the evening in his usual professional manner, making the occasion entertaining and very festive for all, well done Mick.
After the meal as per our tradition was followed by singing a number of Christmas Carols, with our finale of singing the 12 Days of Christmas to complete a most enjoyable evening.
