A wonderful evening was held at the St Aubyn Lodge of Royal Ark Mariners, which had not only an Elevation ceremony, and joining member, but 4 Honorary Members were proposed and accepted into the lodge.

It was a very auspicious occasion with not only a visit from the Provincial Grand Master, Right Worshipful David Purdie, but he was joined by Right Worshipful Brother Ryan A Williams, The Grand Secretary, Worshipful Brother John P. Clendenning, The Deputy Provincial Grand Master, and Worshipful Brother Christopher Elliot, The Provincial Grand Secretary. The Honourary memberships to these 4 brethren, were conferred in recognition of the outstanding contributions made for the good of order in general and for this Province in particular during the covid 19 pandemic. Sadly Right Worshipful Brother Peter Balsom, The Past Provincial Grand Master was unable to attend that meeting, and his membership will be conferred at a later date.

Right Worshipful Brother Ryan Williams was also presented with a provincial tie, and welcomed into becoming a member of our friendly Province.

It was also wonderful to see the excellent elevation of Brother Paul Baldry into our order, along with Brother Alan Vangorph becoming a joining member of the lodge. 

The evening was finished off with a fine festive board where much joviality was had by all.

Congratulations to the Worshipful Master and his team for putting on such an excellent evening.
