On Wednesday 24th November 2021, the current Brethren of Horus Lodge No. 3155 met in due and ancient form at Freemasons Hall, to conduct the formal business of the Lodge and progress the planned takeover.

After Opening and taking the Minutes, respects to departed merit were paid to W Bro Gordon Wilson, PDepGSupWks, and former Secretary of the Lodge. W Bro David Wilson was declared as Worshipful Master, and his Officers were appointed and invested.

So, how did it all begin? It was like creating a door that was already open – many Freemasons enjoy a drink together, but when Freemasonry was suspended and the country was put into lockdown, that act of fraternal good cheer could no longer happen in person.

As with many things in life, we had no idea where it would end up when this all began. A WhatsApp group was created by Bro Adam Strange where we talked all things Masonic, and it just grew from there. It wasn’t long before a common love of good beer emerged as a recurring theme, and a foundation stone was laid.
