On 18th September 2025, Concord Lodge celebrated the Installation of their new Worshipful Master, John Davison MBE, in fine style. The ceremony was honoured by the presence of Deputy Provincial Grand Master, Bill Glanville, accompanied by his Director of Ceremonies, Simon Simpson, and a team of active Provincial Officers.

The evening was full of highlights, including a very special “promotion in the field” for long-serving Lodge Secretary, Bro. Brian Watson, PPGStB, who, after an extraordinary 48 years of loyal service in the role, was promoted to Past Provincial Senior Deacon , a truly remarkable achievement (image above).

The Solomon Diplomas and Lapel Pins were presented by Deputy Provincial Grand Master, Bill Glanville, to APGM Mark Iveson and the newly installed Master, John Davison, a proud moment for both recipients and for the Lodge (image below).

At the Festive Board, the atmosphere was warm and lively, as friends and brethren came together to celebrate not only the Installation but also the dedication of Peter Audin, who has stepped down as Director of Ceremonies after 20 years of loyal service. Peter was warmly thanked and presented with a miniature set of working tools in recognition of his commitment.

A truly enjoyable evening of ritual, recognition, and brotherhood, Concord Lodge at its very best!
