A packed Lodge and a wonderful buzz of anticipation set the scene as Inquirimus Lodge of Installed Masters welcomed its new Worshipful Master, Karl Ward.

Fred Thornton skilfully conducted the Installation, with Provincial Grand Master Mark Iveson and a team of Active Officers joining the brethren for this special occasion.

On behalf of the Lodge, Karl presented the Provincial Grand Master with a generous £1,000 donation towards Festival 29, a much-appreciated contribution.

The evening concluded with a thoroughly enjoyable Festive Board, plenty of good company and the famed Knickerbocker Glory, the perfect finishing touch!

Congratulations to Karl, and every good wish for a happy and successful year in the Chair.
