Second Degree Passing for Bro. Andrew Claringbold
Our regular meeting held on 10th March 2020 was a Second Degree Passing for Bro. Andrew Gordon Claringbold.
We were delighted to welcome a large number of guests and visitors, which included the Worshipful Master and Brethren of the Saint Augustine's Lodge, Mother Lodge to the Ethelbert.
W. Bros. Steve and Kevin Claringbold, Bro. Andrew's brothers, took part in the ceremony, Steve being the Director of Ceremonies and Bro. Kevin acting as the Tyler, ensuring Bro. Andrew was properly prepared
Other members of Bro. Andrew's family taking part were W. Bro. Dave Dance who acted as the Junior Warden and presented the Working Tools and W. Bro. Ernest "Mac" Miller who was Immediate Past Master.
The Passing ceremony was conducted by W. Bro. Reg Millsom, Worshipful Master, who was ably assisted by his officers.
W. Bro. Brian Gibson, the Senior Deacon, was responsible for conducting the candidate around the Lodge, providing him with that most important reassurance.
W. Bro. David Dance presented and explained the Working Tools in a most excellent manner.
W. Bro. David Sedge, Senior Warden, completed the occasion with a superb explanation of the Tracing Board.
At the end of the ceremony, the Worshipful Master was the first to congratulate Bro. Andrew on taking his second step in Freemasonry.
It was definitely a happy and enjoyable meeting, and all the brethren would like to congratulate Bro. Andrew Claringbold, not only on his progression in Freemasonry, but also on the high standard of his answers to the usual questions.
The evening was a shining example of Lodge teamwork and we all look forward to Bro. Andrew taking his third step in Freemasonry.
