I was then Advanced into mark and exalted into HRA Chapter last year.Well I had another first tonight so I thought I would share that as well. I visited Wilfred Attenborough lodge for the first time, that in itself was not unusual I have visited some 15 different Lodges in the last couple of years but this time I was asked to do the reply on behalf of the visitors. Well 3 years ago i would not have been able to do this but one of the things that Masonry has given me is the confidence to stand up and speak in public. They loved my speech! Got a genuine round of applause and several people came up to me afterwards - including the WM and the DC and congratulated me on doing this at such short notice (half an hour). I just wanted to share this step in my journey with you, small I know, but nevertheless another step. Stephen Inner Guard. Lodge of Humility 8464, Kings Court, Chandlers Ford.Steward.

I used to really enjoy visiting too and it is the best way to make an advance in Masonic knowledge, and often some great friends. I bet your speech was first class Bro VM!

I have practically lived out my masonic journey so far on this forum.
From my Initiation in November 2007, Passing in March 2008 and my Raising in March 2009. I was then Advanced into mark and exalted into HRA Chapter last year.
Well I had another first tonight so I thought I would share that as well. I visited Wilfred Attenborough lodge for the first time, that in itself was not unusual I have visited some 15 different Lodges in the last couple of years but this time I was asked to do the reply on behalf of the visitors. Well 3 years ago i would not have been able to do this but one of the things that Masonry has given me is the confidence to stand up and speak in public. They loved my speech!
