Matthew Burt becomes a Fellow Craft

The evening of 20 May commenced with a Eulogy given by Kevin Chard for Kevin Moynihan, a Past Master and Honorary Member of the Lodge, who had recently passed to the Grand Lodge Above.

WM Chris James (his first ceremony since his Installation) appointed James Jefferies as
JD, and also presented him with his Mentors Badge, being the Personal Mentor to Matt. Craig Harding was then appointed Tyler. The WM gave an extract from the Mentor’s Guide emphasising the importance of Personal Mentors, especially when it comes to the retention of members.

It was a full team effort during the Passing of Matt. Tatomir put the Questions to the Candidate. After Matt had been obligated by the WM, Acting Senior Warden, Tony Cooper entrusted him with the Secrets of the Degree. Richard Gilson explained the objects of the South-East Corner, after which James Jefferies expertly presented the Working Tools.

On his return to the Lodge, having been restored to his personal comforts, Bro. Matt was
treated to an impeccable explanation of the Tracing Board by the Junior Warden, Neil
Sunderland.
