Yes, there were some worries whether the party will be a success or not.
Too few responses? Too expensive? Too repetitive? Too formal?
Nothing like!
The evening started punctually with a Champagne reception and all the attendees have been punctual.
Three big round tables were beautiful decorated and in front of each Lady, a wrapped gift. Surprise! Later!
It was hardly a ‘Midsummer Nights Dream’ - more ‘A Winters Tale’ - when, on a snowy day in Manchester with plenty more ‘frozen precipitation’ set to fall from the skies, to go or not to go was the question being asked before departure. However, deciding to brave the elements, five West Lancashire Masons headed off south to Shakespeare’s birthplace town of Stratford-upon-Avon to visit the Swan of Avon Lodge 2133.
In Bad Rothenfelde, the bad one was that our meeting didn't take place in "our" well known Bad Iburg but in Bad Rothenfelde. The hotel was not as comfortable as we know it from the Hotel Zum Freden but the town of Bad Rothenfelde was really worth to visit. Have you seen the old fashioned salt production system which is quite interesting, just in the middle of the town? The other bad thing of this GL Annual Communication was that many Brethren have really missed a wonderful weekend!
On 25 March 2013 Southern Star Lodge celebrated its 100TH Regular Meeting at their Lodge Rooms in Kirchenstrasse, Munich.
With a fantastic turn-out of 20 Brethren one of our Fellowcrafts was raised to the Sublime Degree of a Master Mason by our newly installed (February 2013!) Worshipful Master - Fred Dodson - in ample form - and it has to be said in an exemplary manner!.
