3rd time in the chair has been celebrated with 3 initiations. I’m ready for a rest.

Dishoom at Manchester Masonic Hall has a lovely nod to its host building.

@thecraftbloke Being initiated, passed, raised and installed by my dad.

The last three months where our hard work as a lodge have paid off and I’ve sat as master (for the 3rd time) initiating candidates and now looking at a line of light blues in progressive offices.

A great evening initiating a new brother, and watching one of the lodge’s “junior” brothers excel at Junior Deacon for the first time and over coming his nerves.

@SadBoy973776482 Where are you based?

[Dave Parker @DP4408]

@LancsFM We are working on telling more of the story of these. Especially as we do more public events like Heritage Open Day.

Have you seen the jewel collection in Room 2?

[Dave Parker @DP4408]

@CressMason84565 Soft drinks are available for those pre-meeting prohibition rules.

[Dave Parker @DP4408]

The best WMs serve beer before lodge.

Busy old day at UCLan freshers.

A lovely night watching an advancement at Old York Lodge of MMM in Cleckheaton. And Saltaire in the fridge too.

The future of dining a Preston Masonic Hall. 🤤

[Dave Parker @DP4408]

Advancing into Mark tonight. As ever DMC provide the kit.

Looking forward to what I’m told is an interesting ceremony.

[Dave Parker @DP4408]

@JDavis4304 @FHLightBlueClub Joining Mark in September. Back into the chair for the third time in November.

We raised our first @UGLE_UniScheme initiate tonight at @GuildLodge4408 and celebrated accordingly by starting a new tradition.

[Dave Parker @DP4408]

@thecraftbloke I’ve started going out with our junior brethren to accompany them when someone is being passed/raised.

It’s a chance for them to ask about what they’ve seen so far and try and help their understanding.

[Dave Parker @DP4408]

@amtibbetts @likemindedfree1 But that only came about because we worked hard to make it come about. There is no silver bullet here.

[Dave Parker @DP4408]

@amtibbetts @likemindedfree1 Fundamentally agree with this point. We were looking at handing our warrant in pre-Covid. We benefitted from others doing so before and seeing us as an option for joining. We now have a thriving lodge of nearly 50 with regular double ceremonies.

These days we just get tattoos
