Leyland Mark Installation 9th January 2014 |
|
| What a feast of ritual and food, the members of Leyland Mark Lodge enjoyed on Thursday night. The lodge was pleased to welcome V.W. Bro. Keith Beardmore our Deputy Provincial Grand Master, representing the R.W. P.G.M. It turned out to be a family affair as V.W. Keith turned out to be the second cousin of the new W.M. Bro. Eric Hart M.B.E. who was installed in the chair of Adoniram in one of the best ceremonies I have seen for a long time by the I.P.M. W.Bro. John Dean who performed a faultless ceremony. | |
