Around 100 were in attendance and the proceeds for the day raised the magnificent sum of £1000. This will be divided equally between the Lodge, which is seeking to make a charity donation, and the Provincial Mark Centenary and Special Fund.
A fantastic day when the recipients of ProvRAMGR were invested.
The Banner Ceremony went extremely well under the direction of the Provincial DC the Banner Bearer was W. Bro. Roy Potter, ProvRAMGR.
The PGM was in attendance as the Y Geninen Lodge of RAM is his mother RAM Lodge.
The Ceremony and indeed the whole occasion went very well and was enjoyed by all.
The Rocking Horse will be Auctioned on Saturday 17th November with the proceeds going to the Hope House/Ty Gobaith Charity.
The following Brethren are to be appointed to Royal Ark Mariner Grand Rank in London at the December 2018 meeting;

On 24th September the Provincial Team accompanied the Provincial Grand Master to the Installation Meeting of Dyffryn Clwyd Royal Ark Mariner Lodge.
W. Bro. Graham Sherratt was Installed in an excellent manner by W. Bro. Derek Baldwin who had obviously spent a considerable time in learning the Ritual.
This was the first outing for the new Provincial Team who all seemed to enjoy the evening.
Following the luncheon, the Provincial Grand Master addressed the brethren present to update them on matters relating to the Province and beyond. On this occasion he also invited the new Provincial Grand Director of Ceremonies to speak about the Ritual and the new Provincial Deputy Grand Secretary to speak about the new Provincial website.
