Rose and Thistle
 
12th October 2016
 
After the Summer recess the WM of Rose and Thistle Lodge William Herbert Dunn was in good form and eager to go. Bill doesn't just live around the corner, he travels from Neston on the Wirral to attend his lodge. After the lodge was opened and the minutes read a ballot was taken, which proved in favour of the candidate Ian Kenneth Dawson a Project Manager from Rufford.

A number of officers were absent from the meeting due to sickness, but DC Chis Furmston, wearing his new Grand Apron soon sorted a team out. In fact, Chris took on the office of SD and newly promoted VW Bro Terry Maybury PGJO eagerly volunteered to be Master Overseer for the evening.

The ceremony went very smoothly, concluding with an explanation of the working tools delivered by the Lodge ADC Alan Bromley Lloyd PrGSO. The lodge was well represented by a good number of Grand Officers and it was a delight to see Alan Fairhurst PrGJW present at what turned out to be another happy occasion at the Rose and Thistle Lodge.
