On Wednesday 12 March 2025, the brethren of Lodge of Hope 54 met at Rochdale Masonic Hall. Joined by the Eastern Area Team and our Provincial Charity Steward the lodge was opened in due form.

Bro Nicholas Furnell had prepared well with his questions and answered them in an excellent manner. The officers of the lodge were equally as well prepared and conducted the raising ceremony in excellent fashion. The ceremony was concluded with a Traditional History.

Congratulations Bro Furnell on being raised to the sublime degree of a master mason. We all wish you well in your masonic career.
