Ormskirk Priory Mark Lodge No 1019 Installation |
24TH November 2022 |
| I was delighted that, once again, I was able to attend the Installation Meeting of Ormskirk Priory Lodge and to support W.Bro. David Durling, Provincial Grand Senior Warden who was representing the RW Provincial Grand Master. He was accompanied by his partner in crime W.Bro. Brian Povey, Provincial Grand Junior Warden. It was very pleasing to see three Acting Provincial Stewards in attendance together with the Lodge’s own Acting Provincial Deacon. |

358 David Durling, Neil Cooper and Ian Kennedy |
| W.Bro. Ian Kennedy who had been in the Chair of Adoniram twice previously very adeptly installed Bro. Neil Cooper in the Chair for the first time. It was an excellent Ceremony delivered in the old-fashioned way with no sign of a ritual book in sight. |

The visiting Acting Provincial Officers |
| The Installing Master was ably assisted by V.W.Bro. Fred Hargreaves PGJO who expertly gave the Keystone Address and also Addressed the new Master. |

| The Addresses to the Wardens and Overseers were also delivered beautifully by W. Bro. Graham Radford PProvGSO and W.Bro. John Rawcliffe PProvGSW respectively before the Address to the Brethren was given without fault by the Representative. All under the watchful eye of W.Bro. David Rawcliffe PProvGSW the Lodge DC. |
| Ormskirk Masonic Hall is renowned for the quality of its Festive Board and again the Chef lived up to high expectation. |
| Another evening to be enjoyed in a most friendly, if small, Lodge |
