| Amongst the Lodge members in attendance was W. Bro. Kevin Collins, who is the newly appointed PGM's Special Representative for the Bootle, Ormskirk and Southport Group of Mark and RAM Lodges. There were a further 5 visitors. Kevin, not fazed by his new found fame, was put to work as Guardian until the new Guardian was Invested after the Installation ceremony. |

| Whilst we may have been small in numbers, the quality of the ceremony was second to none. I was assured by those present during the inner workings that our Installing and outgoing Commander, W. Bro. Brian Mason, did an excellent job of Installing W. Bro. Terry Tasker as our new Worshipful Commander. |
| Terry was impressed and excited by the ceremony, which he found to be quite different from those in the other degrees. Apparently he looks forward to revealing that experience to me when it is my turn next year. |
| From all accounts it appears that everyone enjoyed the evening and we have the benefit of looking forward to an Elevation at our next RAM Lodge meeting. |
