On 29 February the Eastern Area Team visited Roclyffe Lodge 5198 at Bacup Masonic Hall to witness the Passing Ceremony of Bro Tariq Mahmood.

Bro Mahmood answered his questions in an excellent manner and the officers of the lodge worked an exemplary ceremony for Bro Mahmood. the meeting was concluded and the members of the lodge and the visitors retired to a friendly social board. The talking point was their ‘small’ cheese board! Roclyffe Lodge certainly has to be a lodge to visit on your bucket list.

We all wish Bro Mahmood the very best of luck in his continued journey in freemasonry.
