Roddie is a member of Lodge of Perseverance No. 455, Anglo Scottish Lodge No. 8844, and Northamptonshire & Huntingdonshire Lodge of Installed Masters No. 3422.
The event proved to be a very emotional one for Roddie and Pauline, who have a combined age of 163-years. All-in-all there wasn't a dry eye in the house!

Things always seem better on Fridays don't they?! and Friday 19th October was no exception with the Installation Ceremony at Kingsley Chapter at HQ.
Nigel Dickens took the MEZ position, due to illness, and Installed Steve Storey as H in fine style. Steve duly installed Peter Chapman in similar fashion and a lively FB was enjoyed by 34 Companions. Thanks to all concerned for a most enjoyable evening.
