Grand Ram Tuesday 11th December 2018
 
A record number of West Lancashire Royal Ark Mariners attended the Grand Assembly presided over by the Pro Grand Master MW Bro John Smith on Tuesday 11th December in London.
Over 30 dined at the after ceremony banquet and a " good time was had by all" 
Such is this event growing that the Pro Grand Master said it was a record attendance and at the reception later commented that he appreciated the great support of West Lancashire at the event.
All our recipients were given a rousing ovation by their colleagues who had journeyed South for the event, some had made it a two day affair by attending Grand Stewards Lodge on the Monday evening. Some even ventured three days by staying over further for Craft Grand Lodge on Wednesday. 
 
Those recieving RAM Grand Rank were Giles Berklay, Philip Gunning, David Rotheram and Geoff Bury.
The Assembly is open to all Royal Ark Mariners, irrespective of ranks, so why not book the second Tuesday in December into your diary and join us next year, its a good day out!!
