Fermor Mark Lodge Installation |
1st October 2024 |
Well Brethren, it’s back to Southport Masonic Hall for another excellent evening. It will also be special for our Provincial Grand Junior Warden, W.Bro. Mark Taylor, who is representing the R.W.Pr.G.M for the first time. |
The Lodge was attended by a plethora of Grand Officers. Some assisting in the Ceremony |
Mark is no stranger here, he is an extremely well known and liked brother in the Southport Group, being the Group Almoner and member of Freshfield Mark Lodge. |
The Lodge was opened at 6pm and Salutations where delivered by the Lodge DC, W.Bro. Stan Martin. P.Pr.G.S.W. |
The W.M. was please also to welcome W.Bro. Maurice Meyers Evans, Special Representative |
and Roy Hedges, his Deputy |
Stan then continued on to declare W.Bro. Henry Christian Skyner as Master. |
Salutations were then offered by the Brethren to W.Bro. Skyner in celebration if his continuance in the chair of Adoniram. |
After the installation of his officers, it was then time for W. Bro. Mark to deliver the address to the Brethren, his inaugural address, which was delivered with aplomb. |
The Festive board was the usual jovial place, with good food and a non Mark Brother in attendance. Just what is needed ! |
The W.M. then presented Mark Taylor with 5 cheques, well Brethren, Fermor Mark Lodge is not large in number, but high in stature, 5 cheques totalling £600. |
What an excellent effort well done to them all. |
I do belive they have candidates for the coming year and the Lodge will be an active participant in the upcoming white table event. 20th December. |
