Stewards' Party - 17 February 2024
A tradition going back many years was celebrated again this year at the Masonic Hall in Selby, and which can only be described as mayhem and mirth in equal measure. A packed audience watched as the Stewards staged their unique and hilarious tribute to the WM at St Germain, W Bro David Morton. They cheered and laughed along with David in deciding whether he had met the criteria to be raised to the heavens after his exploits of playing cricket, driving an ambulance, giving driving lessons, delivering a baby, playing the organ, and leading the singing. A big 'well done' to all concerned in what was another fantastic and memorable night.

Freemasons in the Community
On Monday 18th December, the Lodge of St Germain, together with Pitchside Catering Ltd, put on a free Christmas Dinner for 39 local people from in and around Selby. After being collected from home and driven to the Masonic Hall as needed, the guests enjoyed a superb three-course dinner. After that, they were entertained with a Christmas Quiz from June, and traditional Carol Singing, led on the piano by the Worshipful Master. A lovely afternoon was had by all.
