Very Worshipful Brother John P. Clendinning, the Deputy Provincial Grand Master, joined the brethren of Strode Royal Ark Mariners No. 1495 to witness an excellent elevation recently. Although the lodge was struggling for numbers that evening due to sickness, some of the visiting brethren helped at short notice, to ensure that the new brother, Brother Andy Russell was welcomed into the Ancient and Honourable Fraternity in such a great way by Worshipful Brother Cyril Whittaker, the Worshipful Commander.
The Deputy Provincial Grand Master then presented a Grand Lodge certificate to Brother Jim Currie, who was elevated at a previous meeting.
