Eboracum’s latest meeting was an excellent ceremony in which Bro. Sam Robson was initiated into the Craft; the 4th initiation ceremony carried out by the Worshipful Master Jim Cooper and his team this year. The lodge welcomed W. Bro. Simon Simpson,  Assistant Provincial Grand Master, in his first official visit since taking office, with his Director of Ceremonies W. Bro Adam Robson.

Also present was R.W. Bro. James Newman, the Provincial Grand Master of Yorkshire West Riding, who is a member of the Lodge as well as many visitors, including the Masters of 5 lodges, a total of 50 brethren in all.

Following the ceremony, the brethren moved downstairs and sat down to an excellent festive board. The Assistant Provincial Grand Master took the opportunity to give the brethren an outline of the plans the Provincial Executive team have to move the Province forward in the future in a positive way; plans which were well received. The atmosphere throughout was vibrant with the brethren thoroughly enjoying themselves with a sense of togetherness, warm friendship and conviviality throughout. The evening finished with happy brethren departing on their journeys home in “Peace, Love and Harmony”.

The countdown is now on towards the Lodge’s 150th anniversary meeting on Monday 10th August which the Provincial Grand Master and his team will be attending. If any brother wishes to join us for what should be an excellent evening, you would be most welcome and you just need to contact the lodge Secretary (secretary@eboracumyork.org.uk or 07578 112525) to book your place. We hope to see you there.
