A year of two halves
As the year of 2019 falls to a close the Manor Newland Lodge
No.6403 is proud to remember the acknowledgement of 50
years service by two of its Members.

W.Bro Fred Bowler PM1312 PPJGD was the honoured recipient
of his 50 Year Certificate at their meeting held on 29th
November, 2018. W.Bro Peter Hollingsworth PSGD APGM
gave a concise but illuminating account of W.Bro Fred’s history,
both as a Mason and in his Professional capacity. He went on
to present the 50 Year Certificate to W.Bro Fred in a very able
manner.

The second recipient of a 50 Year Certificate was Bro Barry
Tarbun. As Bro Barry was unable to attend the October Lodge
meeting, Senior Members of the Lodge subsequently attended
Bro Barry at his home on Friday 8th November, 2019 to present
him with his Certificate. This was a very enjoyable experience
for all and Bro Barry was very pleased for the recognition
awarded him.
