A Family Affair

At the March meeting of St Ivo Lodge, held in the ancient town of Slepe in the old county of Huntingdonshire, Bro Tom Mantle was initiated into Freemasonry.

Tom's father, Bro Stephen Mantle, acted as Junior Deacon; Tom's grandfather, WBro Brian Higgins, worked the Obligation.

All 80-brethren who attended the meeting had a most enjoyable time welcoming Tom into Freemasonry in such a wonderful setting.

We congratulate Bro Tom on joining our fraternity and wish him many happy years at St Ives. We also hope he has many enjoyable evenings visiting other lodges, near and far.
