Great to see the Lodge complying with the ‘Rule of 6’ and still able to conduct a Ceremony of Initiation that held to the ceremony and precepts as far is possible in these unusual times. Well done to everyone involved and welcome Brother Andy 🕶

[Merchant Navy Lodge @mnlodge781]

The second Lodge zoom meeting this evening, preparing for the Initiation meeting on Tuesday taking all the required precautions and in full compliance with guidance. It will be a very different meeting but everyone is focussed on giving the Initiate the best possible experience.

Thanks to @ray_pearson for organising the first @mnlodge781 zoom meeting. Great to see some of the Brethren and hear talk of the resumption of meetings

@PaulLudlowUK @pandocruises Didn’t there used to be an actual brass cockerel??? I’m sure I remember one being handed over to Oriana in the dim and distant past.

[Merchant Navy Lodge @mnlodge781]

Hi @HarryCotterill, I can confirm this is now ashore with @pandocruises but I’m sure a version in the new livery would be very much welcome by the new operators 👍🏻

[Harry Cotterill @HarryCotterill]

My memories of @pandocruises Oriana...

In March 2013 Peter Godliman, of the Ocean Liner Society, kindly presented my drawing to Captain David Pembridge, on my behalf. Later in December 2013 I visited the ship and saw my drawing displayed in the Captain's office behind his desk
