YORKSHIRE MASON AUTUMN 2024 5
Recognition of Service
The Old Pocklingtonian Lodge No 7867 was honoured
recently to receive as a visitor WBro William Glanville, in
attendance as the representative of the RW PGM.
A highlight of the evening was the presentation of a Certifcate
of Service to WBro Robert Blaken Ward. The presentation was a
closely guarded secret!
The certificate is presented by RW PGM Dr David Chambers as
a mark of his recognition in terms of the hard work, that he
sees an individual undertakes going above and beyond within
Freemasonry.
Robert is one of only a small number of Brethren to have
received the honour. Robert put work in across the board, not
only in Old Pocklingtonian Lodge but the many other lodges
that Robert is part of. Robert's Masonic experience spans over
30 years and many Masonic Orders.
Well done Robert in receiving the award and many thanks
RWPGM in recognizing the hard work and dedication that
Robert puts into Freemasonry.
