A very well deserved Jubilee Certificate has been presented to a Mason with an amazing Masonic pedigree. WBro Vincent Osborn who is now 80 years old and living in Leicester completed 50 years as a Freemason on 17 March 2010.
He has been a member of no fewer than thirteen Craft Lodges in the Provinces of Northamptonshire & Huntingdonshire, Leicestershire & Rutland and Warwickshire as well as the Metropolitan Grand Lodge. During that time he has also been a member of six Royal Arch Chapters in the same Provinces and also a member of numerous other Masonic orders.
On Thursday 18 March 2010, at a meeting of England's Centre Lodge No 2555 (his mother Lodge) WBro Osborn was presented with his Jubilee Certificate. In presenting it, the Deputy Provincial Grand Master, VWBro Max Bayes said the achievement of Bro Vincent was quite remarkable and one which few of us could hope to emulate.
