The lodge DC Colin Yoxall introduced Kevin to the candidate Ian Felton and Kevin then spent a few minutes talking to Ian. The lodge was opened by the WM Alan Malthouse, who then asked David Boyes to take over in the master’s chair for the ceremony. David then went on to deliver a flawless and sincere ceremony of the second degree.
The working tools of the second degree were delivered by Fred Hulse, in his usual confident manner. David Boyes then took to the floor to give an impeccable explanation of the second degree tracing board much to the delight of the brethren, many of whom gathered around the tracing board with the candidate.
Before the lodge was closed Kevin congratulated David Boyes and the officers of the lodge for a first class ceremony.
