On Wednesday 6th April Phoenix ML No 836 celebrated its centenary, just one year late due the suspension of Masonic activities imposed by the coronavirus pandemic. A plaque to commemorate the foundation the Lodge in 1921 was unveiled by Provincial Grand Master, RWBro Johnny Woods. The lockdown also delayed the presentation of a 60 year jewel to WBro Billy Barnes who received his Master Mason Degree on the 6th April 1961, exactly 61 years to the date of the meeting. RWBro Woods was delighted to make up the lost year by presenting Bro Barnes with his jewel. The evening proved auspicious for Bro Aaron Shortt who had the distinction of receiving his Master Mason Certificate from the Provincial Grand Master.
