I joined the Order on the 4th April 1962. In the Falcon Lodge, Malta Province.
Raised to the Second Degree by the Moravian Lodge, Aberdeen Province on the 5th July 1963.
I had to wait until 8th September 1985 for my Third Degree in the Tamar Lodge, Portsmouth Province.
Finally my Roll of Honour was conferred on me by the Lord Louis Mountbatten Lodge, again in the Portsmouth Province.
Above are some of the Lodge Jewels of the Lodges that I have been/am compliant in.

I have two further Jewels to add to the above collection, first the Albatross No. 10404 from Felixstowe. This jewel was presented to me when I attended the triple 4th degree raising.
Second is the Lodge jewel of the Sir Harry Knapp Lodge No 1262, in the Gosport & District Province, which the Lodge so kindly presented to me for 40 years membership of the Lodge, and below is my new Honorary Membership Jewel.




November is now here & just one month to Xmas, already the dinner dates are piling up & time for the selection of our PGL Officers for 2010.
Bro Mike has had a hard year but a very good year in the monies raised for our good causes. It does get harder each year especially as the economic situation is not what it was! Also with the depletion of numbers that we have been experiencing over the last few years, it is getting harder to fill all of the collars.
I did hear that we have had two initiations in the past month, also that the Victory Lodge may have another initiation very shortly, will keep you all posted on this one?
That's all for this time, so until next time!
