The
Crest used by the Lodge since its consecration in 1912 is shown above and is the Knowsley Family Crest.
It is described
in the 1905 Fairbairn's Book of Crests as follows:-
A Leopard's head Couped, Collared and Lined, a
Ring at the end of the Line.
At the September meeting of the Widnes and Knowsley Lodge No 3581, Bob Winch was installed into
the Chair of King Solomon by the Group Vice-Chairman, Derek Williams. The Lodge was honoured to have Assistant Provincial
Grand Master, Howard Jones in attendance along with the Group Chairman David Redhead and Group Secretary Neil Pedder. They
witnessed a very well delivered and sincere ceremony, which saw Bob Installed into the Masters chair for the fifth time.
The year will be a very special one as Bob has the priviledge of presiding over the Lodge in its Centenary year.
A Centenary celebration is planned for 16th April 2012 when the full Provincial team will be in attendance along with
the Provincial Grand Master who will conduct the Ceremony. It is anticipated to be a very popular event as it will mark only
the third ever Centenary of a lodge in the Widnes group.
The next two years will see the installation of two new
Masters as Alan Jeffs and David Cook were invested as Senior and Junior Warden respectively.
The retiring Master,
Malcolm Thomas presented a cheque to Howard for £200 on behalf of the Lodge, for the West Lancashire Freemasons
Charity. A Cheque for £200 was also presented to Peter Carter for Widnes Masonic Hall Ltd Building Fund.
