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.
