On Tuesday 24th February, the Provincial Grand Master, R.W.Bro. Keith Schofield, G.M.R.A.C., accompanied by a very full Provincial Team, attended the Installation Meeting of Rectitude at Ashday Lea, Rawtenstall.

The meeting was opened and the administrative business of the Lodge concluded before the PGM entered in procession with the Provincial Officers of the year. After declining to accept the gavel, the PGM proceeded to introduce his Officers and to express his delight at the support he had received that evening.

The main business of the evening was the Installation of W.Bro. Michael Holt, P.Prov.G.J.W., the ceremony being conducted by the W.M., W.Bro. Stuart Corless, P.Prov.G.S.O. assisted by the Officers of the Lodge. The address to the Brethren was delivered by the PGM.

Following the meeting, the Brethren retired to a packed Social Board which, judging by the chatter around the room, was enjoyed by all present.
