8 years after joining Freemasonry I have progressed to the position of the Worshipful Master of Foundation Lodge. What an amazing 8 years it’s been, full of enjoyment but with a few ups and downs.
I was Installed at the end of December with an amazing memorable ceremony. Going into the chair is like sitting a major exam, you constantly worry if you have learnt everything that is needed.
I needn’t have worried, as the Lodge came together and supported me completely.
The work for the coming year now seems very real with lots of social events being planned, along with numerous ceremonies.
My first major test of my abilities will be this February with an initiation.
I look forward to updating you all with how it went next month.
