The 1977 Liddell Lodge No. 3616 Annual Festival Programme offers an extraordinary journey into the rich traditions of English Freemasonry. As you hold this vintage document, you are transported to the stately Masonic Hall on Holmside Avenue, where the installation of W.Bro. Robert Carr as Worshipful Master took place on a crisp October evening. Imagine yourself stepping into the hall, its air steeped in history and ceremony, where members in their regalia move with purpose and dignity, their roles rooted in centuries-old traditions. The officers’ list provides a glimpse into the structure and dedication of this brotherhood, each role vital to upholding the lodge’s principles and heritage.

The menu itself reflects the elegance of the occasion, starting with melon and progressing to a hearty minestrone soup, followed by gammon and pineapple accompanied by seasonal vegetables, and finishing with sherry trifle and coffee. It was not just a meal but a shared experience of fellowship, bringing the brethren together in celebration of their shared values and achievements. The toasts, meticulously outlined in the programme, highlight the evening’s solemnity and joy. From honouring the Queen and the Craft to saluting the newly installed Worshipful Master, each toast carries a weight of respect, tradition, and unity that underscores the values of Freemasonry.

Inside the Masonic Hall, the ceremony and celebrations were not merely events but affirmations of the brotherhood’s commitment to charity, integrity, and mutual support. Freemasonry in England has long been a force for good, quietly supporting communities and fostering personal growth. This programme is more than a historical artefact; it is a window into a world where ritual and camaraderie intertwine, creating a lasting impact on members and the broader community. To own this piece is to hold a fragment of that inspiring legacy, a tangible connection to the values and traditions that have shaped this enduring fraternity.
