After his installation into the Chair of Toseland Lodge No 8837 on Monday 14 October 2013, WBro Dick Sturman had a pleasant duty to perform.
As a token of the Lodge's appreciation of his long and dedicated service to Toseland Lodge the new Worshipful Master made a special presentation of a ceremonial trowel to WBro Harry Eddy.
WBro Harry's mother lodge is Euston into which he was initiated in 1969. In1978 he was a Founder Member of Toseland Lodge. He has served as Worshipful Master, Almoner, Secretary and Chaplain. He has also served for many years as a Preceptor in the local LoI. His service and commitment to Toseland Lodge in particular and masonry in general have been immeasurable.

In making the presentation, the Worshipful Master said
Not only am I most honoured to present this gift to you on behalf of the lodge, it also has a very personal significance to me, as it was our friendship along with WBro John Pinkney that introduced me and bought me into Masonry. It has led me to many respected friendships and enhanced my understanding of life. Indeed Harry, thanks to you, Masonry is now a very important part of my life, and for that I will be forever most grateful.
