On 14 October 2016, Bro Will Lawson became Comp Will Lawson on being exalted into the Holy Royal Arch and completed his journey in Pure Antient Masonry. He is now the third member of Piscator Lodge to be exalted into Piscator Chapter since it moved up from London a year ago.
The Companions enjoyed a fine ceremony which was led by the MEZ, E Comp Bob Green and who was very well supported by his officers as well as Comp Mike Howells who presented the Third Principal's or Historical lecture in a superb manner.
The ceremony was followed by a fine festive board to welcome Comp Will into the Holy Royal Arch and Piscator Chapter and we wish him a long and happy future as a member of this fine Chapter.

On Wednesday 12th October 2016 Bro Rhys Derreck Perrin was initiated into Vale of Nene Lodge No. 7006 aged 22 years. Both Rhys's father and grandfather were freemasons in Essex but have since passed away. As a result of talks he'd had with his father, Rhys was keen to carry on the family tradition once he became old enough.
Three members of his father’s Lodge, Stanford-le-Hope Lodge No 5217, secretly travelled to the Peterborough Masonic centre at Ellindon to surprise Rhys at his initiation.They presented him with a gift from his grandmother: his grandfather’s Masonic wristwatch.
