Initiation of Bro Ray Cramer

The first meeting back since the lifting of the Covid Restrictions, was always going to be a busy and poignant evening for the Lodge, made all the more enjoyable when we welcomed WBro Alan Jones as a joining member, who then (and with prior permission from Province) proposed a new Member Mr Ray Cramer, who was then successfully balloted for and initiated in a sincere and accomplished manner by his long time friend APGM Gary Horstman, with WBro Alan acting as the Junior Deacon for the Ceremony.

There where a good number of guests present to witness the first of three initiations planned for the Lodge this year, including no fewer than 11 of the Q2Q riders, a fund raising event that Ray had taken an active part in two years ago.

The Lodge also donated £250 towards the 2027 Festival, which was gratefully received by the APGM, and passed onto two of the Festival team, who where also present.
