The Deputy Provincial Grand Master, Worshipful Brother Brett Varker, joined the brethren at the St Aubyn Lodge of Royal Ark Mariners 1100 recently for their installation ceremony. He was joined on this visit by Right Worshipful Brother Peter Hawken, MBE, Past Provincial Grand Master and member of the Grand Masters Royal Ark Council, and Worshipful Brother Bill Humphries, Past Deputy Provincial Grand Master.

The Installing Master for the evening was Worshipful Brother Mark Rodd, who installed the new Worshipful Commander, Worshipful Brother Angus Workman, in an excellent manner. After the new Commander had installed his officers for the year, Worshipful Brother Barry Purdy stepped forward and gave an excellent rendition of the address to the Commander.

The brethren retired to the refectory, where they enjoyed a wonderful festive board alongside great friends.
