Second Degree Passing for Bro. David Claringbold
Our regular meeting held on 13th September 2022 was a Second Degree Passing for Bro. David Claringbold.
The Passing ceremony was conducted by the Worshipful Master, W. Bro. Brian Gibson, to a very high standard, ably assisted by the regular officers.
W. Bro. Cliff Norris was Senior Deacon and was responsible for conducting the candidate around the Lodge, providing him with that most important reassurance.
W. Bro. Reg Millsom presented and explained the Working Tools.
W. Bro. Robert Howe 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. Claringbold on taking his second step in Freemasonry.
He was also congratulated by his father, Steve Claringbold, the Lodge D.C. and other members of the Claringbold family, all brethren in the Ethelbert Lodge.
In fact there are five members of the Claringbold family in the Lodge, Bro. David, his father Steve, his brother Michael and his uncles Kevin and Andy.
It was a most happy and enjoyable meeting, and all the brethren would like to congratulate Bro. David Claringbold on his progression in Freemasonry .
