The brethren met at Wellington College in June rather than May this year due, in part, to our usual accommodation being required for examinations on our regular day, the first Saturday following the Bank Holiday in May.
The Master of the Lodge, W. Bro. Rory Shackleton, welcomed 25 brethren to witness a fine third degree ceremony. Later the Master of Wellington College, Dr. Anthony Seldon addressed the brethren in the Wellesley Suite before dining and expressed his pleasure that so many OWs should meet annually to play a regular part in the life of the college. The treasurer presented Dr. Seldon with a donation of £500.00 which he undertook to ensure would be put to a good and charitable purpose within the college. (Details to follow from the Bursar). A new joining member was welcomed and it was noted that several young OWs would be applying for lodge membership in the autumn.
Our next meeting – installation of a master for the ensuing year – will be held also on an irregular day, October 3rd 2007 at 4.30pm at Freemasons Hall, Great Queen Street, London WC2, followed by dinner at Beotys. Suitably qualifiedvisitors are welcome, please contact the pro tem secretary through this website.
