One Hundred and Thirty Eighth Installation Meeting
Tuesday 11th October 2022 saw the one hundred and thirty eighth Installation Meeting of the Ethelbert Lodge
W. Bro. Edwin Halpin, attended as the representative of the Provincial Grand Master.
It was a special event for our Master Elect, W. Bro. William Packer, this being his second installation in the Chair of King Solomon at the Ethelbert Lodge. His first time in the Chair of the Ethelbert Lodge was 27 years ago almost to the day.
Prior to the Installation Ceremony, the brethren held a period of silence as a mark of respect for our late Queen, Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second.
The Installation Ceremony then proceeded, and W. Bro. Bill Packer was was installed by W. Bro. Brian Gibson, the Installing Master and outgoing Worshipful Master.
The new Worshipful Master then proceeded to invest his Officers, after which the usual Lodge business was transacted.
Once again it was good to see such enthusiasm from Brethren who took office once again to support the Lodge, the Worshipful Master and brethren.
We wish them all well for the forthcoming year, as we do the new Master.
There followed a Festive Board which was enjoyed by all.
W. Bro. Packer can look forward to a promising and enjoyable year ahead, fully supported by his officers and Lodge members.
