On Friday 5th December, the coldest day of the winter so far, Rose of York Royal Ark Mariner Lodge held their Installation meeting. The warmth of welcome to WBro Trevor Parvin, Provincial Grand Secretary, the Representative of the Provincial Grand Master however made it seem like a summer’s day. WBro Paul Spencer (Seen in the Photograph with Trevor Parvin) was ably installed by Ken Hampson and witnessed by a large number of Brethren.
Prior to the installation Ken presented a very generous cheque of £300 on behalf of the Lodge to the Mark Festival.
The social board at Mossley Masonic Hall was a wonderful example of masonic fellowship, topped by the generosity of the Worshipful Commander who insisted on buying all present the first drink of the evening – well done Paul.
