    It would be fair to say that there are normally three highlights to a Masonic year.

    First the Installation of a new Commander. (Master)

    Secondly the Elevation (Installation) of a candidate into the Order.

    Thirdly a visit from the Provincial Grand Master.

    At the recent meeting (8th November) of Bath Lodge of Royal Ark Mariners, two of the three were achieved. W.Bro. Frank Silver installed, in an exemplary manner W.Bro. Richard Thurston as Commander of the Lodge. This was in the presence of the PGM. R.W.Bro. John Morgan and the Deputy Provincial Grand Master W.Bro. Phil Voisey.
    However, the Lodge added a new highlight that evening. R.W.Bro. John presented W.Bro. Denis Calderley with certificates and a lapel pin to celebrate 50 years as a subscribing member of the Lodge.
    Denis was also presented with a commemorative wine goblet from the Lodge for not only his service to the Lodge as a member but also for more than 30 years as its organist.

  • Installation Meeting 2nd November 2016

    Perhaps at a Provincial meeting but very rarely at a regular Lodge meeting will you find more than two Right Worshipful Brethren together. Perhaps a quiz what is the correct collective noun, (a moan, a salutation?)
    Bath Lodge of Royal Ark Mariners however had the pleasure of experiencing such a gathering at its Installation meeting on 2nd November 2016.
    Twenty one other brethren enjoyed the company of R.W.Bro. John Morgan, (PGM for Somerset), R.W.Bro. Ewan Page (Past PGM Berkshire, Member of Grand Masters Royal Ark Council Honoris Causa and member of the Lodge) and R.W.Bro. David Nelson Past PGM for Somerset during an excellent evening when W.Bro. Derran Lobb installed Bro. Trevor Quartermaine as WCN.
    Probably the comment of RWBro. John is the best way to describe Bath Lodge of Royal Ark Mariner Small in numbers, friendly banter ensuring a happy meeting and an excellent festive board.
