Lodge Perfect's initiation of Mr Marcelo Alves on Monday, 6th July was an unusual occasion in that the work was done by the members of the Hopkinson family:
-
VW BroKen Hopkinson occupied the Chair of King Solomon and also delivered the Working Tools and the Final Charge;
-
his father RW Bro Wal Hopkinson took the chair of SW and also delivered the Secrets, the NE Charge and the MOP; and
-
W Bro Fred Hopkinson, brother to Ken and son to Wal was the JD and also delivered the First Tracing Board to the candidate and two other EAFs who were present. This was a masterful exposition of the TB.
There were 45 masons present, including the RGC who made a presentation to the Lodge of a gift from the Masonic Youth Welfare Fund for the Lodge raising the most funds in Region 10 in the fund raising year. The gift was a small bell with bell rope for sounding, mounted on a wooden frame with an inscriptionplate attached to the body of the support. This gift was used enthusiastically by the DC at the festive board.
