The brethren of the Old Wellingtonian Lodge met at Great Queen Street to initiate Jonathan Rance (O 84-89) into Freemasonry. A number of guests were present including members of our sister lodges the Old Tonbridge, Taunton, Cheltenham, Uppingham and Clifton Lodges.
Meeting on Armistice day Bro John Ross Barnard read out a moving description of Masonic activity in the second world war (it was the second if I recall correctly) and Bro James Milne read out the names of known members of the lodge killed on active service which Bro John Ross Barnard had diligently retrieved from the lodge records. A minutes silence was held to remember them and other brethren killed on active service.
We were delighted that the WM of Clifton accepted our invitation to pass Bro Jonathan Rance of the Old Wellingtonian Lodge in January. The Old Wellingtonian Lodge are glad to be able to share work with its sister public school lodges.
Brethren dinned after at Beotys.
