On Wednesday the 28th of October 2020, Medeshamstede Lodge No. 6104 held it’s 600th Festive Board meeting, which was held online due to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions.
The brethren in attendance enjoyed the usual toasts to the Queen and the Craft, absent Brethren, the Worshipful Master (including his reply) and the Visitors (including their response). Following this, the toasts formed the subject of an excellent and informative talk given by the Lodge's Director of Ceremonies.
The toasts!
The answers to a pictorial-quiz distributed previously were then revealed, and the resultant discussion ensured that all those present enjoyed the requisite daily advancement in Masonic knowledge that is a cornerstone of the Craft.
Some of the quiz-answers - there's more to Freemasonry than just words!
It was then time for the 60-second quiz, which involved speaking on a given subject for one minute without repetition, hesitation or listing. The end-result went down to the wire with the winner of the two teams decided by a draw. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.
The meeting was concluded with the Tyler’s Toast.
