V W Bro Eric Drinkwater Celebrates 50 years in the Royal Arch
 
V W Bro Eric Drinkwater was joined by Mark Executive Members and other senior Mark Brethren to celebrate his 50 years as a Royal Arch Companion.
The celebration was held at Warrington Masonic Hall with 45 Companions in attendance.
 
Ex Comp Colin Rowling Ass to the Pr. Grand Principles gave an enlightening and very entertaining account of Eric’s life and Masonic career, interspersed with comments from Eric himself.
All then retired to a splendid festive board fitting the occasion perfectly.
 
The ladies of fifteen of the Brethren present dined in style at a local restaurant having their own celebration hosted by Eric’s wife Tegwen.
