What a truly fantastic and memorable meeting we had at the respected Silhill Lodge of Royal Ark Mariners 972, during the momentous occasion of the Installation of W Bro R Nigel Clemson, O St J R A M G R P Asst G M as Commander for the upcoming and exciting year ahead.

Our heartfelt congratulations go out to W Bro Hardip S Ubhi, for that memorable Installation meeting and who was the installing Commander, ensuring that everything unfolded smoothly and beautifully.

Our newly Elevated W. Bro. Ramsay Armbrister was born and brought up in Atherstone, practises as a Barrister in a well-regarded Chambers based in Leeds and he has been an active member of the local masonry community since joining there. Up until recently, he held the position of Assistant Provincial Grand Master for Yorkshire North & East Riding Craft Masonry, where he contributed significantly to the organisation and helped foster strong relationships within the fraternity.

A big and sincere thank you to Steve Cox and Malvin Sharpless for their unwavering support throughout this journey.

W.Bro. Steve Cox an Assistant Provincial Grand Master for Yorkshire North & East Riding Craft Masonry travelled to Knowle and found he had forgotten what should be, his ever-present Provincial DC’s token.  The appropriate fine was made and W.Bro. Steve went home with a bottle of 2027 Festival Gin after he made a generous donation.

W. Bro. Ramsay said “I also want to express my gratitude to the three Rulers of the Warwickshire Mark for taking the time to attend the event despite their incredibly busy schedules.

Their presence, along with that of the Brethren, truly made me feel welcomed and cherished in my home County, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and joy that I will always remember fondly.”

The atmosphere was not just filled with anticipation and camaraderie, but it also radiated a sense of shared purpose and unity among all attendees as we gathered to witness this significant event that marked the beginning of a new chapter.
