Ormskirk Mark Lodge No.734 Installation Meeting
 
Thursday 9th November, 2017
 
Your Installation is always a special ceremony, but last night it was made even more special for one Mark Mason who was lucky enough to have his Father as one of his Installing officers.

WM W.Bro. Prince Bagley displayed his usual high standard of ritual in Installing Bro. Andrew Cunningham into the Chair of Adoniram.  He kindly allowed Andrew’s father, W.Bro.
