Adoniram RAM Installation 2024
 
Adoniram Ram No 552 held their Installation meeting on 15th March at Liverpool Masonic Hall.
Commander Andy Whittle
The meeting was held under dispensation because the date had been moved to avoid Good Friday and so many members were not present because of other commitments. Representing the Provincial Grand Master was WBro Eric Drinkwater.

After the Commander, WBro Andy Whittle had opened the Lodge and approved the minutes he presented Bro Sandy Kean with his Grand Lodge certificate. WBro Steve Walls the acting DC then presented the Commander Elect, Bro Roy Hedges to WBro Andy Whittle for the Installation.

Andy carried out a smashing ceremony and did the address to the Commander. WBro Eric Drinkwater then gave a notable presentation of the Exposition which is now tradition in West Lancs. With the ceremony over, WBro Drinkwater brought the congratulations of the PGM to WBro Roy Hedges on taking the chair and also to WBro Andy Whittle on the quality of the ceremony.

In his first role as the Commander Roy presented WBro Drinkwater a cheque for Charity. The lodge then held a successful ballot for two new candidates. Which means the new Commander will have work to do at the next meeting.
Eric & Roy
At the festive board WBro Eric Drinkwater reminded everyone of the Provincial Grand Meeting in Blackpool on 2nd May and the RAM Assembly on 17th September also in Blackpool. We wish Adoniram Ram No 552 and WBro Roy Hedges a happy year.
