VW Bro. Devesh Hingorani & VWBro. P Venkataraman were joined with their respective spouses who also thoroughly enjoyed the visit to the Grand Lodge, the Freemasons museum and other notable sightseeing landmarks in London.
With over 2,000 Brethren in attendance, the Grand Lodge was the most sought-after place to be on 14th September 2022 for English Freemasons around the globe. Representatives from over 70 other Grand Lodges were also present.
After the meeting, the Brethren attended luncheon at the adjoining Grand Connaught Rooms where the Brethren from our District enjoyed the champagne, wine and the 3 course meal amidst the company of the Brethren from the Province of Herefordshire.
