Friendship Mark Installation 15th May 2023
 
I was very pleased to attend the Installation Meeting of Friendship Mark Lodge No 1549 to support V.W.Bro. Ken Alker PGJO, the PGM's Representative. There were no less than 7 Grand Officers in attendance which was nice to see.
Bro. Alan Cornes ably Installed, as Worshipful Master, Bro. Alan Taylor assisted by W.Bro. Tony Johnson PProvAGDC who explained the Working Tools of a Mark Master Mason and W.Bro Terry Tasker PProvGJW who gave the Keystone Address.
W.Bro. Terry Tasker also addressed the Master, WBro. Malcolm Sergeant PADGC addressed the Wardens and WBro. Brian Skinner PGStdB addressed the Overseers. Finally V.W.Bro. Alker addressed the Brethren.
During the evening Ken was presented with charitable donations totalling £300, a magnificent amount from a small Lodge.
There followed a very pleasant Festive Board where further funds were raised for charitable purposes by a well supported raffle.
