W Bro Eli Pressman writes

The Lodge of Endeavour for Norwood Ravenswood 5506 recently celebrated its 90th anniversary with a memorable evening, during which we had the honour of awarding a 60-Year Long Service Certificate to W Bro Alan Harris SLGR, and a 50-Year Certificate to Bro Edmund Grower.

Unfortunately, W Bro Derek Morley PSGD, Metropolitan Grand Inspector, who was originally scheduled to present the Certificates, was unable to attend.

However, the Lodge was delighted that they were instead presented by VW Bro Jonathan Hillman, PGSwdB, Assistant Metropolitan Grand Master.

The evening was a great success, with approximately 90 Brethren joining us for the festive board.
