A Long First
The letter of “apology of absence” received from the Assistant Provincial Grand Master W. Bro. Michael Higginbotham described the meeting as “a very busy one”. W. Bro. Michael Long PPrGReg, was to be Installed as Worshipful Master (for the third time) as is customary at the September meeting.
However, on this occasion after the Installation an Initiation ceremony was also planned. Every Initiation is a special one, but this one a very special one. A father initiating a son happens quite often, is a wonderful family experience and always affectionately remembered. Not so often are son’s Initiated by their father with their older brother in the office of Junior Deacon. Such were the circumstances of our “most memorable day”.
To add to the enjoyment of the day we had the company of our Visiting Officer, W. Bro. Mike (cor blimey) Purdy,
Also, W. Bro. Ford Gillespie, who delivered a most enjoyable extended Apron address.
