What a stunning effort and execution by such an exceptionally accomplished team at Silhill Mark Master Masons and Royal Ark Mariners, and Well done to members involved. What a wonderful example of what a Mark Lodge – RAM event can be, with an impressive turnout of over 35 members! A special thanks to the Provincial Grand Master RW Bro. Andrew R. Armbrister and Past Provincial Grand Master RW Bro. Philip Wills for their presence.

The RAM meeting we held was a significant occasion during which we had the pleasure of elevating a Brother Daniel Solano who hails from a Mark Lodge located in Switzerland.

This Lodge has developed strong and meaningful ties with our own, fostering a sense of community and mutual support. The Brother was honoured to be accompanied by the esteemed Past Assistant Grand Master of the Swiss Constitution, the Very Worshipful Brother Martin Metraux, along with the dedicated Brother Thomas Grossnicklaus, both of whom brought their invaluable presence to the ceremony.

The Mark meeting was a tremendous success, much to the delight of everyone in attendance. We were able to advance two remarkable new Brethren, Bro Gary Turner and Bro Prakash Chauhan, into our esteemed ranks. This not only signifies a vital step in our commitment to growth but also resulted in an impressive total of three new members joining our two Lodges by the end of the evening. The excitement and enthusiasm shared among all present truly highlighted the community spirit and dedication that defines our organisation.

This remarkable achievement was genuinely appreciated by us all, and to be honest, it stands as a shining example of what a Mark or RAM Lodge should be. It was both an honour and a genuine pleasure to be present at such a splendid occasion. It was a truly great night, thoroughly enjoyed by everyone in attendance.

The attention to detail and the warm welcome from the Lodge made it an unforgettable evening.

Last night was indeed a fabulous night at Silhill, filled with delightful moments and memorable experiences! It’s events like these that strengthen community bonds and foster lasting friendships.
