Adoniram Lodge of Royal Ark Mariners No 552
 
It was an unusual meeting of Adoniram Lodge of Royal Ark Mariners No552 at Liverpool Masonic Hall on Friday 26th October.  
 
Adoniram RAM is one of the more vibrant Royal Ark Mariner lodges and usually they have an elevation to do; but not at this particular meeting and Installation is not until March 2019and so it did not take long to get through the night’s agenda.   The Worshipful Commander, WBro Ian Elsby opened the Lodge and then the Assistant DC WBro Arthur Robinson led the salutations to the APGM, WBro Giles Berkley.
Commander Elect, Chris Hamilton; Worshipful Commander Ian Elsby and APGM Giles Berkley

After the minutes had been approved it was then time for the main item of business; the election of a new Worshipful Commander.    With only one candidate that did not long either; and the Worshipful Commander declared Bro Chris Hamilton as the Commander Elect.    This was a very popular choice.
 
Then it was time for WBro Ian Elsby to close the Lodge ready for an early dinner.   Liverpool Masonic Hall has introduced new caterers this season and so far there have been no real complaints on the quality of the food.
 
Only five months to the next meeting and there will be some work to do then as it will be the Installation.
