A memorable occasion for Old Manor Lodge involving the Murray family. Pictured are Tom Davidson, Barry Murray, Stuart Murray, Josh Murray, and Richard Casini, gathered after Josh Murray was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason.

This meeting came after Barry was initiated into the Lodge. The back-to-back milestones not only highlight the strong family connection within Freemasonry but also reflect the enduring traditions and fellowship of Old Manor Lodge

At the Lodge Trust and Fear Not meeting on April 13, a 50 Year Service Certificate was presented to Peter Reeve, a founder of the lodge, by Alan Reid, Assistant Provincial Grand Master.

Alan's presentation covered many details of Peter's half century in Freemasonry including his career as a police officer. Peter and Alan have known each other for 60 years having first met as members of the Hertfordshire Police Cadets in 1966.

Peter was also joined by David Hampton, Grand Superintendent of the Royal Arch, whom he Initiated in 1990 when Worshipful Master of Knebworth Lodge.

Huge congratulations to Josh Little, a Brother of Cheshunt Lodge and Companion of Hooks Cross Chapter, who completed the TCS London Marathon on Sunday 26 March in 4 hours 20 minutes.

Josh, whose father is also a member of Cheshunt Lodge, has raised more than £2600 for Noah’s Ark, a charity for children with serious or life-limiting conditions based at The Ark, its state-of-the-art hospice in north London.

A close family friend of Josh’s was supported by Noah’s Ark which is why he chose the charity and abstained from the lovely food and w**e served at the lodge meeting the previous week!

At a recent meeting of Old Stortfordian Lodge, Roger Glynn was presented with his certificate marking 50 years of Craft membership by the Past Deputy Provincial Grand Master Dick Knifton.

A keen shot and founding member of the Lodge of True Aim, Roger had already been advised he would receive the Provincial Grand Master’s Certificate of Service at the forthcoming Provincial meeting.

What he did not know was that such recognition requires the rank of Past Provincial Senior Grand Warden. At the conclusion of the presentation, Dick Knifton duly conferred a field promotion to PPSGW, followed by a second certificate reflecting his new rank, a true double-barrelled surprise.
