Carrying on from our success of our last meeting, the university of Birmingham lodge was able to initiate a further two more brethren into our honourable craft. To further make this day even more special, we had with us some very special visitors to witness this wonderful event. We had with us member of Apollo lodge, Oxford University’s university lodge. This was very special for us as the University of Birmingham lodge is a daughter lodge of Apollo and so to have visitors from there after many years was a great treat for all those involved.
Another successful triple initiation was carried out at Severn St Masonic Temple this Saturday 18th February. The members at the University of Birmingham lodge once again navigated the logistical mine field of a triple initiation to pull off yet another memorable ceremony, welcoming three more entered apprentices to the lodges growing ranks.
