The Provincial Grand Master, Right Worshipful Brother David C. Purdie, was joined by his Deputy, Very Worshipful Brother John P. Clendinning and a number of Provincial Officers at the recent Installation ceremony at the Dartmouth Lodge of Mark Master Masons 737.

The lodge was opened in due form, with the historic minutes from 50 years ago also being read.

The Worshipful Master, Worshipful Brother Raymond Barton, who is also a Grand Steward from the Province of Monmouthshire, then continued the business of the evening by installing his successor, Worshipful Brother Phil Allwood in an excellent manner.

Following the meeting, 45 brethren retired to the refectory and were treated to an excellent festive board, with much fun and laughter throughout.
