The Sincerity Lodge of Royal Ark Mariners 35 recently celebrated a first for the Province of Devonshire, proving that this order is continuing to grow within Devon.

Having had a number of candidates apply to become members, the lodge undertook the challenge of elevating 4 candidates in a single meeting, held at the Queen Victoria Temple in Plymouth..

The Worshipful Commander, Worshipful Brother Rob Truesdale, along with his officers and members of the Devon Mark Support Team, took up the challenge and performed the excellent ceremony with all the reverence expected, and made it a memorable night for all involved.

Pictured are the Worshipful Commander with the new Elevatee's, Brothers Mark Davey, Bob Etteridge, Barry Ellis and Wayne Liddle.

Following the meeting the brethren retired for a wonderful festive board, during which, on behalf of our Provincial Grand Master, Worshipful Brother David Lee, the Past Deputy Provincial Grand Master, presented each of the new Elevatee's with their own Provincial Royal Ark Mariner tie, which was a wonderful gesture.

  

Congratulations to all of these brethren, and wishing them a fun and happy time in this Ancient and Honourable Fraternity
