From our good Brothers across the pond!
Firsty Work!
Last Wednesday saw a Lodge meeting which was definitely Firsty work! The Lodge made history by holding its first ever double ceremony which itself was a first degree or initiation. The evening saw Bros. James Moffit and Craig Lant initiated into Freemasonry and into the unique and peculiar lodge that is Unanimity and Sincerity No.261. As one of the oldest lodges in Somerset, Unanimity and Sincerity still has its own ritual and so it was destined to be a special evening from the off. The ritual was beautiful and the floorwork was slick, a credit to all those who worked so hard to ensure that our newly invested brethren had a night to remember. [Those wishing to visit the Lodge of Unanimity and Sincerity and experience an old and unique lodge should contact our lodge secretary: 261LodgeSecretary@gmail.com ]
