We held our normal February Lodge meeting which coincided with Valentine’s Day on 14 February 2022.
The main business of the evening was to present a 50-year certificate to Bro Tony Jones of our Lodge. This was presented by W Bro Ben Foundling, who had joined Wyke Millennium at Bro Tony’s suggestion. It was an excellent presentation with an insight into Bro Tony’s personal and masonic career, which was very interesting and as one might expect fulfilling. Bro Tony was supported by two friends from the Humber Lodge 57 and the Alexandra Lodge 1511.
At the suggestion of W Bro Mal Grange at our November meeting, our Worshipful Master promoted the evening as a ‘white table’ event to which our wives, partners and friends could be invited to the Festive Board.
Valentines’ day was too good an opportunity to miss and 17 ladies were given a long stemmed rose each. We had table magic from Rich Reynolds a talented and totally baffling close-up magician, which was enjoyed by all present.
Following that we had a talk on the work of the St Michael’s Youth Project given by the two project leaders, Jo Lorenze and Mat Rogers who were our guests for the evening. The work done by the project is brilliant (see link to website) and we were pleased to present Jo and Mat with £250 towards their very good cause.
