After many happy festive boards at the East India Club, the February meeting saw the Lodge hold its meeting at this favourite haunt, the first meeting in St James’s for some 40 years.

We conducted a fine raising ceremony, presided over by the Worshipful Master in a fluent and confident performance, with the Traditional History being delivered with great style and understanding by W Bro Matt Burrows of our Mother Lodge, Household Brigade No 2614. We were also delighted to be joined by a familiar face from the Old Bradfield Lodge.

We finished the evening with an excellent meal and over Port and Madeira celebrated the imminent milestone of VW Bro Jervis Kay’s birthday.

Jimmy Higham Single

Jimmy Higham was an Old Rossalian and member of the Senior Common Room at Wellington College before his untimely death from cancer at the age of 26.

His cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely” recorded in 2009 has become a posthumus hit, and is currently in the charts.

The cause has been taken up by the popular press, including the Daily Telegraph with every 79 p download of the song commits 60p to the Jimmy Higham Bursary fund, a cause worthy of support amongst all OWs, ORs, and others.

The Fund “will provide a place at Wellington for a student from the north-west of England – a transformational opportunity and one which will perpetuate the memory of a great teacher and man”.

Note: For the avoidance of doubt Jimmy Higham was not a member of the OW Lodge
