Coronation Mark 563
 
Worshipful Master of Coronation Mark Lodge 563 W Bro Bill Wenton, welcomed Worshipful Brother Ken Alker P.G.J.O, who represented the Provincial Grand Master at the Lodge Installation on the 2nd February.
W. Bro. Bill, Installed Bro Doug Holgate in fine style. Bro Doug was very excited prior to his Installation, and he expressed his delight having being Installed by W Bro Bill, in a fine and sincere manner.
As Bro Doug was being Installed for the first time, the ceremony required a lot of work by the Installing Master.
W Bro Derek Horrocks P.G.J.D. who is also the (PGMs special Representative for Garston), assisted the Worshipful Master delivering the address to Bro Doug.
VW Bro Eric Hughes, who can always be relied upon to assist in any position and for any lodge, delivered the address to the Wardens and also the address to the Overseers.
The address to the Brethren was delivered by W Bro Ken Alker.
Bro Doug then appointed his officers for the ensuing year. In doing so he thanked them for their continuing support of the Lodge.
 
W Bro Ken then brought congratulations from our Provincial Grand Master, thanked all who took part in the ceremony. Particular thanks went to the Installing Master W Bro Bill Wenton for the amount of effort he had put into learning the work for the evening.
Bro Doug then offered cheques amounting to £ 250 to W Bro Ken Alker, which was received with thanks and promised that it would be faithfully applied.
 
During the festive board it was evident how much Coronation Mark members come together as a family, good fellowship and sense of pride.
