Mansel Hughes - 50 Years in Craft Masonry, 40 Years in the Royal Arch

It is a great pleasure to be here in Aeron Lodge for a second month in a row to present a Long Service Award to another stalwart of both Aeron Lodge and the Province of West Wales. For the full address by the PGM click here.
 

Syd Smith - 40 Years in Royal Arch Masonry

I am delighted, if a little surprised, to be here tonight to make this presentation to E Comp Sydney George Smith. E Comp David Rayson was very much looking forward to being here this evening, but sadly something has come up which means he can’t be with us. E Comp Syd, I have a feeling you may have had a lucky escape, because I think David was planning to say quite a few things, which aren’t included in his address.
