A warm welcome was received by Worshipful Brother Christopher Elliott, the Assistant Provincial Grand Master, when he attended the Installation meeting of the Manadon Lodge of Royal Ark Mariners 50, which was held in Plymouth. He was accompanied on this occasion by Worshipful Brother John P. Clendinning, the Past Deputy Provincial Grand Master, together with holders of Royal Ark Mariner Grand Rank including Worshipful Brother Bill Philip, lead of the Royal Ark Mariner Enlightenment Team within the Province.

The main business of the evening was to see Worshipful Brother Stephen Vickery installed into the seat of Noah of this fine lodge. The ceremony, which was undertaken by Worshipful Brother Mark Stevens, was done in fine form with the new Commander then going on to appoint and invest his crew for the forthcoming year.

Following the meeting, the brethren retired to the refectory to enjoy great company with a wonderful festive board.
