The lodge celebrated the completion of a third degree with the raising of Bro. John Edwards, also Secretary of the Old Wellingtonian Society. The brethren’s grasp and performance of the ritual was a tribute to the aims and practices of Freemasonry.
Looking ahead to the May meeting, held annually at Wellington College, the members welcomed the acceptance by the Master of the College, Hugh Monro to be guest of honour at a white table dinner to honour his achievements during the five years of his mastership.
Members established a strategic planning team in preparation for the centenary celebrations of the Lodge in 2009 to be led by the Director of Ceremonies, W. Bro. James Milne.
A choral version of the College Song, “Carmen Heroidum” – professionally recorded in January – was placed on the website by courtesy of the Director of Music.
