W Bro David Hudson the Secretary Of Coningsby Lodge writes.

The Lodge of Friendship No 8275 in the Province of Cumberland and Westmorland, which meets at Cleator Moor, recently identified a candidate for Initiation who had 100% visual impairment. This was a new experience for the Lodge.

Anxious that they should do the right thing for this candidate they contacted UGLE for advice. They were somewhat surprised when the advice came back; “contact Coningsby Lodge No 6383 in Herefordshire as they have considerable experience in these matters”.

This they duly did, and a significant amount of communication has taken place between the two Lodges, much to the satisfaction of our Cumbrian Brothers. Coningsby members now have an open invitation to visit the Lodge of Friendship at any time.

“It was a great surprise to receive this request, and a great pleasure to be able to help another Lodge. It was, of course, extremely gratifying to have our past efforts for the visually impaired recognised by UGLE.”

W Bro David Hudson, Secretary of Coningsby Lodge
