Unity Lodge #9195 hits 200
It was a night to remember as the Lodge of Unity No. 9495 celebrated both its 30th anniversary and its 200th meeting. Worshipful Master Clyde Woods led his lodge with pride, delivering what many described as one of the finest Second Degree ceremonies seen this season.
The atmosphere in the temple reflected true brotherhood and respect for the occasion, setting the tone for an evening that will long be remembered.
A Festive Board to Remember
Following the ceremony, over forty brethren sat down to a festive board that was every bit as memorable as the work in the lodge. The highlight of the meal was a short but moving history of the lodge delivered by one of its founders, WBro Jim Spence.
In his address, WBro Spence reflected on the previous 199 meetings, sharing anecdotes, memories, and milestones that painted a vivid picture of the lodge’s journey from consecration to the present day. His words served as a reminder of the dedication and vision that brought Unity Lodge into being and the spirit that continues to sustain it.
Distinguished Visitors
The official visitor for the evening was WBro Simon Key, who spoke warmly of his time with the brethren. He commented on the strength of the Corby lodges and how much he enjoys visiting the town. His presence added to the celebratory feel of the evening, and his company was greatly appreciated by all.
A commemorative photo was taken featuring WBro Jim Spence, WBro Simon Key, and WM Clyde Woods, symbolising both the lodge’s proud history and its strong present.
A Touch of Sweetness
The evening concluded with a special gesture of kindness. Katie Mason, wife of Bro Philip Mason, had prepared a beautifully decorated cake to mark the occasion. It was the perfect finishing touch to a night filled with warmth, friendship, and pride in the lodge’s achievements.
