A small gathering as many were on St. Valentine’s Day duty.

The ceremony went well, the candidate in the capable hands of our Deacons had learned his part well. A Past-Master delivered the Traditional History in record time and Charles Goblet d’Alviella the Working Tools; he did well, I believe it was his first time.

Two EA’s and an FC were dispatched early for a libation or two and recalled by mobile phone by James Milne when the main ceremony was over; modern technology!

As usual the proceedings were planned and orchestrated by Stephen Dudley & James Milne, to whom my grateful thanks.

We dined at Beotys and as we were only 12 we joined with Trinity Lodge (Cambridge) in the downstairs room. Their Junior Warden is an OW, this made for a very enjoyable evening.

I look forward to seeing as many as possible and with wives., partners and if possible new potential members at College in May.
