The Pathway “Success”

A t the Lodge of
Fellowship
Good
No276 first regular
meeting of the year they
were witness to something
most brethren may not
have seen before, four
candidates being initiated
at the same time.
There were mixed feelings
on undertaking such an
event, but, with a lot of hard
work and commitment at
LoI's, hard work preparing
the items needed for
the initiation ceremony,
four kneeling stools, four
pedestals four Deacons
and four Past Masters, the
stage was set.

The lodge and candidates properly prepared, the candidates were led in, every Brother carried out their office with
precision and excellence and underwent a truly exceptional and memorable initiation enjoyed by all.
