A double act of Shaun Whiting and Roly Freeman were in the Worshipful Masters chair when Darren Barnes was initiated into the Round Table Lodge of Lincolnshire at Horncastle – and the third of the Masters involved in the ceremony wasn’t a Master at all; it was Aaron Masters, who received his Grand Lodge certificate from APGM Jez Hyland.
Shaun’s in his second year in the chair, so he’s been doing openings and closings, and other Past Masters have stepped in to tackle the ceremonies themselves.
Jez was also reprising his ceremony-direction role by stepping in as ADC at short notice.
