A very interesting evening

Ormskirk Masonic Hall was well attended when over 57 members and guests came together to witness the installation ceremony of Stanley of Bickerstaffe Lodge No 3511. The master David Paton welcomed everyone to the ceremony before saying: “It is usual for us to commence with singing the opening ode, but as you can see we have no organist, and at the moment we have no master elect, this brethren could be a very interesting evening.”

There is much pleasure in giving and also receiving recognition for some performance in life. We have witnessed this ritual many times during this year’s Olympic games. Similarly, in Freemasonry we rightly recognise those brethren who have not only been a continuous member within the Masonic association but who have served it well. You can imagine that there are not too many times that you can associate someone who has also a pedigree as an athlete and taken an active part in Olympic games representing his country. A person whose country has recognised his services to wider community by way of an honour from Her Majesty the Queen.
