WOODGATE 2009

The annual pilgrimage to Woodgate was another successful year.  This year we performed an emergent meeting and a single initiation on Dave Robinson, our new candidate.  Particularly successful was the first tracing board for 10 of our EAF's - it would have been nice to have all 24 of them lined up for the event but the Isis lodge can only cater for a set number and we certainly filled up the lodge with 35 members of Burleigh travelling North for the weekend and the presence of the WM of Isis and members who attended our meeting.

Friday night was the usual arrival and drinks, although some were a bit quiet on Saturday morning.  Saturday morning saw the arrival of more members and the obligatory beach events to pass the day until meeting time.  Of particular interest was the stranded yachting crew, for the 3rd year running they broke the catamaran and had to be towed into the beach.  The meeting was on Saturday afternoon and the South conducted at the beach.  Ted Goding had his 21st birthday on the day and we all assisted in celebrating with him on Saturday night.

Some of the highlights were 10 EAF's standing in the NE to receive their 1st Tracing Board, the flawless delivery of the same by Bro Eddie Miller and the social weekend had by all.  The following photos show the weekend in it splendour.
