End of an era - Jamie Robinson
W.Bro Jamie Robinson has presided over the lodge for the last year but 25th of April was his last night as Master. He made a great speech which included some of the great work this Masonic year....
"Over the year all our ceremonies have been live initiations, passings and raisings, which is proof of a vibrant lodge. We have had some great fundraising events during the year raising much needed funds for local and national charities of which we have donated £950.00 between them."
Well done Jamie!!
