Provincial Junior Grand Warden David Carter told members of Ashlar Lodge he’d been extremely impressed with the quality of their ritual delivered to initiate Jonathan Bramley.
David was making his official visit to the Lodge, and told Bro Bramley how much work had gone into learning the ceremony.
Proposer Dale Atkins revealed that Jonathan’s nickname was Swaz; earned as a reminder of his early life in Swaziland, the landlocked country surrounded by South Africa which became Eswatini in April 2018.
Coming to the UK, Jonathan had served in the RAF with postings to Kinloss in Scotland and Cranwell.
David urged members to visit the Provincial web site members’ area to learn about Building Together, reinforcing the link between Craft and Royal Arch Freemasonry.
Liaison Officer Stuart Pearcey told members that PSA testing would once again be available on the day of the provincial meetings in May next year, and urged them to take part if they hadn’t already has the test.
In our picture Jonathan is seen with his mentor Mark Jarvis, Lodge Master Darren Sewell, David Carter, Deacon Chris Glover, and David’s Steward Leigh Newby.
