Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Dave still got my little case and the three aprons I had one for the craft one for the mark
and one for arc mariners, all my old mates who I stuck with died off and I was the only one
left in the company that’s the trouble they all get into their own little groups and I suppose I
got into that way myself so when my buddies parted this world I just stopped going I don’t
miss it and it wasn’t really me, it’s also a good way of falling out with your Missus.
thanks harry, long retired.

Whats going to happen to you Harry,if you fall on hard times like the rest of us. Being a mason,you shouldn’t have that worry.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Hard times before being a mason harder times whilst being a mason
still hard times trying to be an old age pensioner, there was a Lord in
my lodge I bet he wasn’t feeling the pinch though, he did ask me to
bring him a drink from the bar once when we were dining he smiled
as he asked, so I smiled back as I told him to get his own drink, and
I added the days of me being servile are long gone that didn’t get me
any bonus points.
thanks harry, long retired.

hiya,
Never got beyond being a steward of the lodge this was by choice the chance
of promotion was there but I like a lot of others just chose to stay on a lower
level I know of several long serving masons who never wanted to go beyond a
stewardship, you got to take the ■■■■ out of the “bigwigs” doing that job, it
also meant you missed all the daft procedure having a separate dining room.
I only went into it because of a friend who I think got brownie points because
he roped in a new candidate, Oh’ and Dave don’t fear the masons it’s the goat.
thanks harry, long retired.

When we had our holiday in Clacton this year, the bungalow we rented was right opposite a freee masons lodge and had two churches and a church hall in the same street. Did have a decent pub at the end of the road Harry.

hiya,
All the lodges I’ve visited have had catering facilities and proper bars on the
premises with the drinks quite a bit cheaper than the pubs and workingmens
clubs, they have very comfortable lounges for the after meeting festivities, I
miss that part of masonery but didn’t bother staying behind when all my pals
passed away all of whom had “been through the chair” with many years service
between them, two of my chums had been drivers one like me who worked
for a haulage company the other an O/D. “down the road” was always a good
excuse for giving a meeting a miss when the weather was bad

I belong to a few organisations Harry, but living out in the sticks means having a drink at a do is out of the question,as I drive. Tracy has her car,but won’t drive my vans. If there is a do in our village hall with a bar I have a few pints,but its quite rare for anything like that to be happening there these days. I organised Country & Western evening for 27 years,but knocked that on the head after having pneumonia 3 years ago. Just have a drink at home now. A couple of mates call in for a drink now and again.
Cheers Dave.
Norman Ingram:
Don’t you bet on it Dave,
Oh dear our secrets out,So I may as well admit it Harry & I are the Whiskey Diviners Ltd, Regards Larry.
Norman Ingram:
Have you noticed,
Norman, I have to defend “THE DOUBLE ACT” (Harry & Larry) 
I posted the date and venue of the next gathering a couple of weeks ago. Friday 27th Dec. Newcastle Labour Club.
No excuse for you not to attend will be accepted. 
I can even get you a lift (without using your tatty old log book). My baby brother (he’s only 55) lives in Northampton, he’s coming to visit his poor relations for the festive period. Don’t ask me why he still lives in “boot town” as we forgave him his misdemeanors years ago. 
Looking forward to learning the technique for unzipping and reaching the bottom of those deep pockets with the legendary short arms. Regards Kev.
But my lips are sealed anyway, I don’t want to be Blackballed do I, It just wouldn’t do would it, I mean to say what would it do to my image as a Malt drinker, Eh, Regards Larry.
