Semper Fidelis Lodge of Royal Ark Mariners No 880
 
Business meeting 14th March 2024 at Fleetwood Masonic Hall. The Worshipful Commander, Bro Roy Rhodes, opened the Lodge in due form.
 
A memoriam/eulogy was given by WBro Giles Berkley DepProvGM, RAMGR, for WBro David Winder AProvGM, RAMGR, who sadly passed away on the 21st December 2023. The Brethren stood to order for a period of reflection.

A number of officers who couldn’t be present at the installation meeting were then invested.

  • Bro David Kenworthy SW
  • Bro Bob Stafford JW
A Grand Lodge certificate was due to be presented as part of the business of the Lodge, but the recipient, Bro McCumiskey, could not be present on the evening.
The Lodge was duly closed and the members and visitors retired to the bar for refreshments and onto the buffet.
A raffle (Fleetwood fiddle) was organised by Bro Stafford, which raised £80 for charity!
A friendly and enjoyable night was had by all those present!
