Our October lodge welcomed an informative “Explanation of the Third Degree Tracing Board” by WBro Robert E Heap, PProvJGW. He then proceeded with a very informative explanation of the symbolism of the Third Degree Tracing Board, which included the unveiling of a Third Degree floorcloth, which is probably 150 years old.
We then heard from WBro Mike Stubbs, Royal Arch Area Officer, who gave a presentation which was entitled “Why should a Master Mason join the Royal Arch”, which had been written by WBro Trevor Thomas during his time as Royal Arch District Officer.
The evening concluded with the Festive Board. All Royal Lancashire brethren had a great time, as did our visitors.
In November, we look forward to welcoming WBro Ray Evans PPSGD, who will deliver a presentation on Festival 2026. Any brethren who wish to join us, please contact WBro Raymond N Pickles – Lodge Secretary.
