Thursday, 21 May 2015, saw the Initiation of our latest candidate, Bro John (Jonny) Gooding. The WM conducted the Ceremony with suitable decorum, ably assisted by the other Officers of the Lodge. Bro Tom Browne, yet again, presented the long version of The Apron and also The Charge and deserves all plaudits given. Bro Rob Dunseith escorted the Candidate with military precision while Bro Tim Nelson presented the working Tools
An exemplary Ceremony was followed by a suitably boisterous Festive Board, especially with the Brethren finding out that the Candidate’s first name was Frederick. The evening raised nearly £200 in total which will be utilised to provide raffle prizes for the Winsford Army Cadets who are raising money to provide emergency supply ‘Grab Bags‘ to wounded servicemen returning from various theatres of operation.
