Loyal Manor Lodge No. 6445 Initiates New Brother James Colin Almond

On Thursday 27th March 2026, Loyal Manor Lodge No. 6445 was delighted to initiate Mr James Colin Almond as an Entered Apprentice into Freemasonry.

James, a maritime consultant by profession, becomes the latest new member to join the lodge. His initiation ceremony was conducted with the dignity, warmth, and brotherly fellowship that have become hallmarks of Loyal Manor Lodge’s events. The evening provided a memorable start to what the members hope will be a long and fulfilling journey within the Craft.

The members were particularly pleased to welcome James into Freemasonry and look forward to guiding and supporting him as he begins to explore the foundational principles, moral teachings, and traditions of the Order. As a newly made Entered Apprentice, he now embarks on the first stage of his Masonic development, building the essential groundwork for future progress.

Everyone at Loyal Manor Lodge extends a sincere and warm welcome to Brother James Colin Almond. We are confident that his skills, enthusiasm, and professional background will prove a valuable addition to the lodge, and we look forward to seeing him actively involved in our future activities.

The lodge wishes Brother Almond every success and enjoyment as he continues his journey within the wider Freemasonry community in Dorset.
