Aurelius Lodge of Mark Masters No.814
14 April 2023
Clacton
Les Morgan, Alan and the Prov.G.M.
This year's Installation meetings for Aurelius Royal Ark Mariner and Mark Lodges were honored by a visit from the Provincial Grand Master accompanied by his active Officers.
The Mariner Lodge was opened first by its Commander W.Bro. Les Morgan, who then proceeded to Install Brother Alan Penney as Commander. Alan suffers from “young onset multi-infract dementia” and finds ritual difficult at times, but the members of Aurelius Lodge intend to assist him as much as possible. The Address to the Commander was carried out by W.Bro. Ken Headworth, who aged 89 years young shows no sign of sitting back.
Once the Mariner Lodge closed, the visitors retired to the bar, whilst the Temple was prepared for the Mark Installation meeting.
