Pinner Lodge No 3300 was privileged to have a contingent of Freemasons from its namesake Pinner Lodge No 3423 in the Province of Middlesex at the Centenary Rededication ceremony of the Lodge Banner on Saturday 18th October 2008 in the Ionic Temple at Goldsmith Street. In 1991, the then Secretary of Pinner Lodge in Middlesex W Bro Alan May, (who subsequently became Assistant Provincial Grand Master) contacted W Bro Tony Allwood, a Past Master and Lodge Secretary at that time, to cement a bond between the two Lodges. Over the years, that association has remained a strong and robust connection to this day. W Bro Tony is now an Honorary Member of the Middlesex Pinner Lodge in recognition of his endeavours, W Bro Roger Croome PSGD, Past Assistant Grand Master and Deputy Grand Superintendent of Middlesex and W Bro Adrian Howorth, PGStB also an Honorary Member of the Nottingham Pinner Lodge together with other Middlesex Lodge members, attended the ceremony. A beautifully embroidered cushion embossed with gold leaf was presented to the Lodge by W Bro Howorth on behalf of his fellow members. Bro Steve Brassington presented an exquisite boxed set of the working tools of the three degrees whilst the Pinner Lodge of Instruction presented a new set of the Square and Compasses. W Bro Colin Shields was pleased to present a new poinyard. The Lodge treated itself to a new set of Officers' Collars and Master and Wardens' Cuffs. The Volume of the Sacred Law which has been authenticated at one hundred years old, was lovingly restored due to the efforts of the Worshipful Master, Bro Ken Lawmon. There were also present several Grand Lodge Officers and numerous visiting brethren to witness the ceremony and enjoy the convivial Festive Board in the Ionic dining room afterwards.
