FEEL GOOD FRIDAY !
On Saturday the 7th of March the Provincial Grand Master RW. Tim Anders attended a 100th Birthday Luncheon for W Bro. Norman Hide, which was attended by Masonic Brethren friends and family.
Norman had a very distinguished career in the Army and then the Foreign Office serving in Pakistan the Middle East, Helsinki and Moscow to mention just a few of his postings.
On the 8th of January 1970 Norman Frederick Hide joined Freemasonry in The Stewart Lodge no.1960 in the District of Pakistan. Which makes this Normans 56th year in Freemasonry. On his return to England, he joined Wineslai Lodge No.2435. Where He served as Junior and Senior Deacon, Junior and Senior Warden and then in 2003 became the Worshipful Master, after a year as Immediate Past Master he took on the office of Lodge Almoner and served for 5years. On the 26th of October he received a first Provincial appointment to Past Provincial Senior Grand Deacon the highest first appointment that can be awarded.
It came as a huge surprise to Norman when The Provincial Grand Master to mark his service to Freemasonry and commemorate his 100th Birthday carried out an infield promotion appointing Norman as Past Provincial Grand Register investing him with the Badge and Jewel of his Office marking his service to Freemasonry and commemorate his 100thBirthday.
