🎉 A Very Special Celebration at Thursday’s Meeting 🎉

On Thursday evening, we had the great pleasure of celebrating the birthday of one of our most respected and cherished members, WBro Leonard Barrett, who reached the remarkable milestone of 99 years young.

As the photographs show, Leonard is in superb form and thoroughly enjoyed the evening, sharing stories, laughter, and friendship with all those in attendance. Reaching 99 years of age is an extraordinary achievement, and it was fitting that so many friends and brethren came together to mark the occasion.

Visitors travelled from across the Province to join us in celebrating Leonard’s special day. Whenever Leonard is involved, we can always expect an excellent turnout, and we are sincerely grateful to everyone who made the journey to share the evening with us. The warmth and fellowship shown were a testament to the high regard in which Leonard is held.

With his centenary now just one year away, we have a feeling that next year’s celebration could well be standing room only! We very much look forward to helping Leonard celebrate his 100th birthday in style.

The evening was rounded off with a magnificent birthday cake, generously baked by Jayne Munro, wife of WBro Gary Munro. The cake was enjoyed by all our members and guests and was a wonderful addition to a memorable occasion.

Congratulations once again, Leonard, on your 99th birthday. We wish you continued good health, happiness, and many more enjoyable evenings in our company.

🎂🥂 Happy 99th Birthday, Leonard! 🥂🎂

Last Thursday was one of the Vale of Nidd’s most memorable nights for sometime as our Worshipful Master, Leonard Middleton Barrett installed W Bro Kevin John Burton back into the Chair of King Solomon as a Past Master of the Lodge. Len showed that over his 70 years in freemasonry his ritual was still unsurpassed as he virtually faultless, but the manner in which he performed the insulation was one that we will find hard to beat.
We also had the pleasure of WBro Andrew Robinson PPJGW Ex Comp PGStB APGP the Personal Representative to the RW Provincial Grand Master and four PPGStwd’s and an excellent day and evening was had by all. Our meeting was also honoured by the presence of WBro John Vause APGM and a number of Grand Officers.
