Visit to Eastern Gate Lodge No. 2970

On a recent visit to Singapore I was priviledged to visit Eastern Gate Lodge No. 2970. This is an English Constiution Lodge in the District Grand Lodge of the Eastern Archipelago. The visit reinforced for me that Freemasonry is universal. The ceremony was an advancement, and I was delighted to respond on behalf of the visitors.

The festive board was quite a surprise. None of your roast beef and Yorkshire pud as we are accustomed to in the Province of Yorkshire West Riding. The meal was a spicy tawainese dish that, I have to confess, got my eyes watering at one stage.

My thanks for the WM and brethren of Eastern Gate Lodge. It would be something I would like to repeat, or at least reciprocate in the future.
