Ed the Elevatee

At the recent meeting of Yatton Royal Ark Mariners Lodge, members were pleased to welcome the Provincial team, led by the Provincial Grand Master, for a memorable and well attended evening. The highlight of the meeting was a polished and dignified ceremony during which Bro Ed Keirle, a respected member of Somerset Farmers Lodge and Portal Mark Lodge, was elevated into the Royal Ark Mariner Degree.

The ceremony was conducted with care and precision, reflecting great credit upon the Worshipful Commander, W Bro Roland Ansell, and his officers. It was a proud and joyous occasion for Bro Ed and a significant moment for the Lodge, further strengthening the bonds of friendship and companionship that characterise Royal Ark Mariner Masonry.

There was also a note of reflection, as this marked the final official visit of RW Bro Philip Voicey in his capacity as Provincial Grand Master prior to his retirement in May. The evening concluded with an excellent festive board enjoyed in warm and convivial company.
