On 14 August 2025, the Lodge gathered on a hot summer evening for a very special meeting, honoured by the presence of MW Arda Cilingir, the Grand Master.
Amidst the fellowship and ceremony of the evening, it was a particular pleasure to recognise the outstanding contribution of VW John Thompson, who was awarded the Senior Ritualist Award and Pin in recognition of his dedication, commitment, and exemplary service to the Craft.
The award and pin were personally presented to VW John Thompson by MW Arda Cilingir, making the occasion a memorable highlight of the evening.
We were delighted to capture this special moment with a photograph of MW Arda Cilingir presenting the Senior Ritualist Award and Pin to VW John Thompson, together with a group photograph of the Brethren who attended the evening.
Congratulations to VW John Thompson on this well-deserved recognition. His dedication to ritual and his service to the Lodge are greatly appreciated, and we are pleased to celebrate this important achievement with him.
