Ashburton Lodge recently advanced their 3rd Candidate that had joined their lodge following a successful Magic of the Mark evening in Ashburton held earlier this year. The excellent ceremony, which was undertaken by the Worshipful Master and his team of Officers and Visitors, was witnessed by our Deputy Provincial Grand Master, Very Worshipful Brother John P. Clendinning. 

Following the ceremony the D.P.G.M. presented Brother Bear with a Mark Degree tie and welcomed him to the Order. He then went on to present the previous candidates, namely Bro's Hodge-Brooks and Brooks with their Grand Lodge Certificates.

The evening was foloowed by the traditional Ashburton festive board in a buffet style, enabling all the new brethren to mingle with the rest of the brethren present.
