This is an ideal lecture for the Master Mason and anyone who's been a member for the past 25 years. Trust me, you will be amazed at what you didn't know about this icon tracing board. Presented by the talented and highly respected Peter Mason.

Nine members of Pendle made a short incursion across the border to West Yorkshire to visit West Craven Lodge who were performing the raising ceremony for their latest candidate. Little did we know that Queens Jubilee, Colne Lodge and Royal Lancashire had also crossed the border in force. 19 Colne masons made up the majority of Masons for the third degree, and what a cracker it was. Thanks for the warm welcome received and the friendship at the social board. It was a bit of a surprise there were so many visitors. If I remember rightly, that's how it used to be.

Our first meeting back after the summer break was a good one. I think everyone was ready to get back to the lodge and be amongst the brethren once again.
David Sharpe paid us a visit and delivered a very interesting lecture on the creation and building of the Statue of Liberty in the US and how its creation came about with the help of Freemasons from France and the US. It was very interesting and certainly put a few assumptions to bed. The festive board afterwards was a noisy and happy affair as holidays were discussed and friendships reaffirmed. A big thanks to David Sharpe for taking the time to visit us and present his lecture .
Roll on October's meeting.

After much discussion at our recent committee meeting, the members of Pendle Lodge took an important decision about the future of our Lodge.
After more than 100 years of proud history, like many lodges we have seen our membership reduce, with new candidates becoming increasingly difficult to find. Rather than consider closing the Lodge, we unanimously agreed on a positive new direction.
From the coming season, Pendle Lodge will meet five times a year instead of ten. Our meetings will now take place on the second Wednesday of January, March, May, September, with Installation in November.
This change gives us the opportunity to visit other lodges that have traditionally clashed with our Wednesday meetings, support fellow Brethren across the area, and enjoy other Masonic orders that have previously been difficult to attend. Most importantly, it allows us to focus on making our meetings enjoyable, sociable and sustainable for the future.
We're looking forward to this new chapter, and you may well see Pendle Lodge members visiting your Lodge during the coming season. Please make us welcome—we'll be delighted to see you!

After three weeks of hard practice and arranging replacements for other officers we finally delivered a great third degree ceremony for Dave Bamford. Special thanks must go to Kevin Pickering of Marsden within Pennine Valley Lodge for acting as WM and performing the ritual to an amazing standard. Also big thanks to Graham Grishakow for a superb rendition of the traditional history in the third degree. Everyone agreed it was the best they had ever heard. The Candidate Dave Banford thoroughly enjoyed the ceremony and played his part really well indeed. It took a full 2 hours 15 minutes to complete the proceedings as Pendle Lodge perform the full closing from the third degree.
All in all it was a great night of freemasonry and a reward for all of the hard work undertaken by the officers of the Lodge.

Pendle Lodge has a raising ceremony to deliver this Wednesday, and as usual we will be closing in full from the third degree. If you haven't seen this aspect of the ceremony it's certainly worth doing so. Not every lodge includes the full closing.

WBro Gary Williams of Colne Lodge gave a wonderful explanation of the second degree tracing board at Pendle Lodges February meeting.
Bro. Dave Banford was on the receiving end of the lecture and by all accounts thoroughly enjoyed the experience and explanation of the symbols and signs on display.
Thanks to the 10 visiting brethren from Colne and Queens Jubilee for making up the numbers and standing in office where required.
