On Thursday 27th November 2014 W.Bro. John Smith, P.G.Stwd., A.Prov.G.M. attended the Installation of W.Bro. Alan Heywood, P.Prov.G.J.W.

W.Bro. Alan was Master of Priory Mark Lodge 25 years ago but after joining Keep 2 years ago, he has been looking forward to taking the chair once again.

39 brethren were treated to a delightful ceremony delivered by W.Bro. Eric Bond who had once again assumed responsibility for leading the Lodge following the death of the Worshipful Master. Several cheques were given for the benefit the 2021 Festival, Priors Close, ELMBF and the 2015 Provincial Meeting.

At the end of the meeting, W.Bro. Stephen Lord delivered a superb rendition of the valedictory address.

Everyone then retired to the Swan and Royal Hotel for the Social Board where we enjoyed our first Christmas Dinner of the Season.
