The Provincial Grand Master, Right Worshipful Brother David Purdie, together with his Deputy Provincial Grand Master Worshipful Brother John Clendenning joined the Brethren and Visitors at the Benevolent Lodge of Royal Ark Mariners to witness the Installation ceremony of the New Commander.

The ceremony was carried out in impeccable style by Worshipful Brother Jon Webber, who ensured that his successor, Worshipful Brother Norice Millen was installed in such a memorable way.

The PGM was presented with Cheques totalling £550 for the DMCA and the PGM's Fund, with a further £100 being donated to the Outcoming Commanders Charity, The Starfish Appeal at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital. The Starfish Appeal is raising money to create a dedicated warm, bright and engaging space for the children, young people and families who use our children’s outpatient service

36 Brethren enjoyed the Festive Board, which rounded off a fun packed and enjoyable evening.
