Phil aboard Furness RAM
 
The latest addition to the crew of Furness RAM No 375 is Phil Renney.
 
Phil is the present junior warden of Furness Mark Lodge No 36. By day he is a supply chain manager for the M.O.D. and when not engaged in masonic activities in his spare time he is the pipe major in a local pipe band.
Kieron Mullan, Alan Jones, Ian Cottam and Phil Renney
Worshipful Commander Ian Cottam undertook the elevation of Phil into the order during which he was assisted in the ceremony, at Ulverston Masonic Hall, by Kieron Mullan and Alan Jones. Bill Joughin was called upon to stand in as senior warden with a few days notice and did not let the team down.
From labour to refreshment
It was pleasing to hear two candidates proposed for membership on the night.
