The Thomas Arthur Wood Lodge of Mark Master Masons held its Installation meeting on Monday, 9th December.

The meeting commenced with a warm welcome from the outgoing Master, who reflected on the accomplishments of the past year and the strong camaraderie among members.

The current Master, W Bro John Starley, is pictured alongside his successor, W Bro Doug Hopton, in the beautifully atmospheric Chapel at Guy’s Cliffe.

This occasion was particularly significant as it marked the first official visit of the recently appointed Assistant Provincial Grand Master, W Bro Ian Belsham, who also visited Guy’s Cliffe for the first time.

He was accompanied by the Provincial Grand Junior Warden, W Bro Graham Lewis, the Provincial Grand Master Overseer, W Bro Jonathan Amies, and a Provincial Assistant Grand Director of Ceremonies, W Bro Will Watson, all of whom were making their debuts in their new roles.

This gathering not only celebrated leadership transitions but also fostered a spirit of unity and purpose among everyone present.

Overall, a positive experience was enjoyed by the brethren, visitors, and the Provincial team, both in the Temple and at the Festive Board.
