RW David Ashbolt (in WM' s chair) Dep and one of | |

His son Paul who is a member of Friendship Mark | |

RW David Ashbolt (London) our own PGM | |
So our PGM stepped in and played for the RAM | |
ceremony. Not having any music with him, | |
he was mightily relieved when W Bro David Cresswell | |
turned up between the two meetings, and played for | |
the Mark Installation! David usually plays for the | |
(large) parish Church at Chiswick . | |
The festive board was ' different ' a fine choice from | |
the carvery (the PGM had rare beef) | |
In all 9 Right Worshipful brethren were present, and | |
2 past Grand Sovereign Commanders from the Rose | |
Croix degree. | |
