Friday night saw a special meeting for United Service Lodge, not only was it their Annual Rememberance Meeting, but they also had the pleasure of Initiating three candidates.
A triple Initiation is something that doesn’t happen that often, but to have it happen on one of the most special evenings of their Masonic calendar is even better. I guess that explains why there was approximately 90 brethren present including the Provincial Grand Master of Derbyshire, who took the Chair to open the Lodge in exemplary fashion.
All the Officers who took part in the ceremony did extremely well and gave the three candidates a memorable evening and entrance to Derbyshire Freemasonry.
The Festive Board was as moving and special as always, with the Bugle calling the Brethren to dinner and playing the Last Post.
To anyone who’s not been to the Rememberance Meeting, it’s well worth a visit.
