No sooner have we been to one lodge than we are out, the very next night, to another. Whilst I am still getting back into my flow with writing these posts I will keep it simple. With 4 founding members consisting of 2 officers, one full Widows Son and 1 cornerstone, we attended this meeting for a very special reason.<\/p>

Jon, one of our cornerstones, is pretty new to the craft but his father, Edgar Vickers, was 62 years a mason when he passed away late last year. Jon showed me all of his fathers masonic kit which included a 50 year certificate and his grand lodge certificate (half in Latin it is that old). I noticed there was no 60 certificate though. Reaching out in the background, I contacted the lodge secretary and found that the certificate had never been presented.\u00a0<\/p>

With a lot of wrangling we managed to get a framed certificate sorted (mostly thanks to the lodge secretary) and this was presented to Jon at the lodge meeting as a total surprise to him. Clearly very emotional but, with quarrymen and lodge friends to support him, Jon was able to have an awesome evening at his fathers lodge.<\/p>

A surprise to both Jon and I was to see the son of a friend and former work colleague be the EA being passed to the 2nd degree. Bonus.<\/p>

We are looking forward to being out a lot more and there is already another small group of Quarrymen heading to Swanage next week.<\/p>

Visiting is the lifeblood of the craft and the Quarrymen love to visit each others lodges almost as much as we love the feeling of riding our bikes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
