Our reigning Master W.Bro.
Paul Marshall opened his
Lodge for the final time
and ended his year in office
with a splendid display of
installing Bro Victor Chivers
into the Masters chair.
W.Bro’s MacMillan, James and (Austin) Latham assisted by taking the roles of SW, JW & IG respectively and Bro’s Bull, Vaughan
& W.Bro Steve Bull presented the various tools of each degree. Now as WM Vic Chivers took over his new role and confidently
completed the summons agenda and closed the lodge. The meeting was attended by many regular guests but importantly 9
reigning circuit masters, 2 brothers from the Shenstonian Lodge in Warwickshire together with 2 past members who were also past
masters namely W.Bro’s Richard Bedini and Alan Norman. Everyone retired and enjoyed our usual hearty festive board concluding
a splendid afternoon of freemasonry.
We're having a get-together at Saxon Hall Masonic Centre
Southend, over some wine and nibbles and I'd be delighted if
you could come along. Whether you have your Lodge meetings
at Hutton or not, this will be a wonderful opportunity.
At no cost to you, or your Lodge, you'll have the opportunity
to spend just over 90 minutes at our informal and informative
evening where you'll gain some great information about the
Royal Arch in Essex.
If you enjoy your Freemasonry, I'm confident you'll get so
much from this beautiful order which will bring even more
meaning and understanding to your masonic knowledge.
So, come along, meet some of the team, and find out what
it's all about.
