Progress R.A.M. celebrated it’s 1st Installation On Wednesday 22nd February at Preston Masonic Hall, since it was constituted in 2011. It did not have the best of starts, after the sad and untimely death of our founding W. Cdr. W. Bro John Shrewsbury. However during the year things improved and four new candidates were elevated. |
