Lathom Mark Lodge Installation 2023
 
On 30th October 2023 W.Bro Geoff Gill PProvGJW was installed into the Chair of this Fine old Mark Lodge.
The remarkable Geoff is a member of no less than 29 Orders and he was Installed for the 61st (not a typing error!) time as the Principal Officer of a Masonic Unit.
W.Bro Ian Richards conducted a Cine Ceremony including the Address to the WM with strong support from other members particularly Bro. Maurice Gladden who made his ritual debut by delivering the explanation of the Working Tools. I was also able to present Maurice with his Grand Lodge Certificate as a Mark Master Mason.
 
The Provincial Grand Master was represented by W.Bro David Sear PAGDC and he was supported by other Grand Officers including myself.
The incoming Master brought guests from the other side of the Province and W.Bro Shaun Higson PGJD acted as DC as of course Geoff was the incumbent and could not conduct his own Ceremony.
 
There followed a very convivial Festive Board. Another good Mark evening.
