Brother suprises Brother at Sykes

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.
