WBro Lloyd Walker was initiated into Toseland Lodge No 8837 in 1981. He is now its sixth longest serving member and in October this year was installed as its Worshipful Master.
He was born and went to school in Nagpur, India which was then still under British rule. After leaving school he had a varied career as a merchant navy engineer, a draughtsman and a seller of paper products.
After joining Toseland Lodge he was soon advancing towards the Chair. However, having reached Senior Warden, he was unable to continue due to his wife's ill health and continued to care for her until she passed away.
In spite of being unable to attend Lodge for those years, he was able to encourage his sons Bruce and Andy in their Masonic careers. Bruce is now a Grand Steward and Andy is moving towards the Chair in Euston Lodge No 2283.
Although unable to regularly attend lodge WBro Lloyd maintained his keen interest in the Craft and gave the Charge after Initiation when his son Andrew was initiated into Euston Lodge.
WBro Bruce Walker is now in the Chair of Shakespear Lodge No 99 (a Red Apron Lodge) for the second time.
