Firstly they were Advancing another candidate, the second in a year following a period of two years without any candidates. Bro Alan Eastwood (far left) was the candidate, he had recently moved from Gloucestershire to Windsor and comes from a long line a Freemasons in his family. He told the PGM that he was a fourth generation Freemason and his father had told him that he must join the Mark Degree as in his opinion it was an essential qualification for other degrees in Freemasonry. Bro Alan said he thoroughly enjoyed the ceremony and thanked everybody for making him so welcome.
Secondly W Bro Martin Woodall had returned to the Lodge after a period of being unable to attend. It was a real pleasure to see him in action again, performing an extremely good ceremony.
