Installation of W.Bro. Paul Maddocks at St Mabon

November 24, 2025 Mark, PGM, Team Visits

An Extra special night for North Wales Mark Masonry.

With over 80 attendees and in front of the R.W. Provincial Grand Master John Stanley Evans and his full Team, St Mabon Mark Lodge No. 919 held their Installation meeting at Ruabon Masonic Hall.

Extra special for several reasons:

Firstly as it saw R.W.Bro. Paul Maddocks, the PGM of the Craft in North Wales, Installed into the Chair.

Although he has previously held the Chair of another Mark Lodge in the Province, that being Eryri Mark Lodge No 1973, this was his Mother Lodge and, in an impeccable ceremony by his Installing Master W.Bro. Stephen Bithell, it was a very memorable night.

The evening was further enhanced by the presentation to the Lodge of the award of the Grand Master’s Keystone Fund Jewel for their charitable donations, the first Lodge in the Province to achieve such.

Then a further donation of £1,000 was given by the Lodge to the MMBF.
