As would be expected with the two DC’s in charge, the ceremony was exemplary and greatly appreciated by all present. |

| Following a convivial and light-hearted festive board, during which the Lodge secured a future visit from VWBro Snape after he won a bottle of whisky in the raffle, WBro Bibby had great pleasure in presenting the Travelling Keystone to WBro Whitmore, who has already made plans to help the Keystone on its journey around the Province. Their duty done, the Chorley brethren made their way home having thoroughly enjoyed an excellent evening of Mark Masonry.Following a convivial and light-hearted festive board, during which the Lodge secured a future visit from VWBro Snape after he won a bottle of whisky in the raffle, WBro Bibby had great pleasure in presenting the Travelling Keystone to WBro Whitmore, who has already made plans to help the Keystone on its journey around the Province.
