Back with a Bang! In Excellent Company!

St George Lodge No.1801 in Northcote, on the North Shore of Auckland got back into the swing of things on Monday 30th May, with a bang! Having not been together in a meeting for over nine months the Brethren were keen to meet up and get the Masonic wheel rolling again! The work of the evening was not only a proclamation but also the Initiation of Mr Aaron Cathro, who had been waiting patiently for 15 months to join us!

Some anecdotes have been travelling around the District about how quickly Proclamations are being carried out but one regular visitor commented that the three and a half minutes St. George took to make their proclamation was one of the quickest ever conducted! The long awaited Initiation then took place and St. George welcomed Bro Aaron Cathro, aged 21, one of the youngest members St. George has initiated for many years!

To truly enhance the whole evening we were honoured to have a very distinguished visitor in the person of R.W.Bro Jeyaraj Ratnaswamy, a Past Master of Negri Sembilan Lodge No.3552 (EC) Kuala Lumpur, who is also the Past District Grand Master of Eastern Archipelago, UGLE. "Raj" made a wonderful presentation in open lodge, of a Lewis Badge, to the only Lewis currently in St. George Lodge, our WM, W. Bro. Stuart Howard! He then joined us for a very enjoyable hour in refectory, to round off a great evening!
