Royal Sussex Lodge News and Events
It was a great evening at Royal Sussex Lodge. Neil Hawes, the Provincial Junior Grand Warden who is Master of the Lodge presided.
R.W.Bro. Dr Ewan Page gave us an excellent explanation of the Lecture on the degree of Mark Master Mason. Additional entertainment in the temple was provided by the Lodge DC, W.Bro Roy Thompson.
The Worshipful Master of Mendip Lodge No 781, W.Bro. Mike Gagg accompanied by no less than twelve of his brethren, presented the Master, Neil Hawes with the Somerset Travelling Keystone.
It was a very good meeting followed by an excellent festive board where the good atmosphere continued. We were all privileged to enjoy that special Mark fellowship.
The photo above shows Mike Gagg presenting Neil Hawes with the Travelling Keystone surrounded by the brethren of Mendip Lodge and the Provincial Senior Grand Warden, Tony Wilcox.
Royal Sussex Lodge has had more than its fair share members who have been seriously ill in the past few months, so it was good to see the Installing Master, Alan Booty back in the Lodge and Tyler, Chris Fear back at his post. Unfortunately secretary Ian Anderson was still not well enough to attend.
Alan installed his successor Neil Hawes who then went on to appoint his officers. The Deputy PGM, Ray Guthrie presented a Grand Lodge certificate to new member Simon Bennett and the evening was completed by R.W.Bro Dr Ewan Page giving a superb rendition of the Lecture on the Degree of Mark Master Mason.
The members of Royal Sussex were delighted to learn that Lodge treasurer John Nicholson will be appointed Past Assistant Grand Sword Bearer by the Grand Master at the annual Investiture of Grand Lodge on 8th June this year.
