Sykes Lodge 1040 held their regular meeting in Driffield on 20 March to carry out an impressive 3rd Degree ceremony for Bro John Pouger,  but the evening started with a special surprise for WBro Michael Beckett.

A "cunning plan" was hatched with the WM and Secretary and Michael's brother John, who is also a mason living in Ipswich.

John was planning to visit his brother without him knowing so Michael, a member of Sykes Lodge in Driffield, was asked to stand in as ADC at the last minute as part of the plan.

There was a report of a latecomer “a lost soul “ at the door of the lodge and Michael was dispatched to see who sought admission. Imagine the shock when he opened the door to see John his brother standing there!

A fantastic night for the both the Becketts and for the rest of Sykes lodge, with a joining member and 2 candidates proposed, with another waiting in the wings.
