The meeting on 17th March 2026 was a special occasion for the Wellington Livery Masters’ Lodge with W Bro Barrie Stewart being the first non-Past Master to be installed since the Lodge was reconstituted a few years ago as the home for Masters of London Livery Companies and associated sister organisations around the country.
W Bro Barrie of the Worshipful Company of Security Professionals was initiated in 2017, the first of four initiates since. It was also an opportunity to congratulate RW Bro Sir David Wootton, one of the founding members, on achieving his 50 years in Freemasonry. The Lodge meeting at Bakers’ Hall is open to all Masters and Past Masters of Livery Companies.
