Our meeting on the 9th of October was a mixture of joy and sadness, the sad part was that this was the first meeting since the death of our Bro Jason Liversidge, who passed to the Grand Lodge above on the 5th of August 2023.
The Worshipful Master gave a moving eulogy recording Jason’s life and his ‘never say die’ attitude, despite suffering two life limiting illnesses, Motor Neurone Disease and Fabry’s Disease. Jason had wanted to follow in his Father and Grandfathers footsteps and become a Mason, something he achieved in 2018 when he joined our Lodge, MND and Fabry’s never held him back.
He was an excellent member and good company, he will be sadly missed by all of us in Wyke Millennium, but most of all by his wife Liz and his two daughters Lily and Poppy.
The joyous elements of the evening included formalising the donations made by the Lodge to the Tickton PCC towards their Pétanque (more familiarly boules) terrain being constructed for the village, the welcoming of a new joining member, and the main event of the evening which was to Pass Bro Phil Lord to the Second Degree.
Brother Phil reached another milestone in his masonic career and was supported by visiting friends from 5 sister Lodges; an excellent night was had by all, and as usual we were well fed and watered by this excellent hotel, and we remain truly grateful to the Whymant family for their continued hospitality over the last 23 years.
