On a hot July evening a number of new members to the AMD District of London gathered at The Boot & Flogger Public House near Borough market for the District's Annual New Members' Dinner. The evening was hosted by the District Grand Prefect, R. W. Bro. Colin Woodcock along with members of his executive, the Deputy District Grand Prefect V. W. Bro Scott Cargill, District Grand Senior Warden W. Bro. Peter Warner, District Grand Secretary W. Bro. Richard Criddle and District Grand Sword Bearer W. Bro. Terry Worrall.

As per the ethos of the District it was a very inclusive evening with Colin engaging all those new members to give their initial views on the order and what prompted them to join the order. This provided some interesting and positive feedback for Colin and his team. The Councils in the District were discussed with an emphasis on visiting other Councils to complete degrees or simply as a social visit. The District website and Council of Improvement were also discussed again with encouragement to get involved.

A great evening with good food, drinks and excellent company. The evening concluded with a toast to our next merry meeting.

After the Council was opened V.W. Bro. Scott Cargill, Deputy District Grand Prefect accompanied by a delegation of District Grand Officers were welcomed into the meeting.

What followed was extraordinary. The Council were conducting the ceremony of The Holy Order of Grand High Priest. They had 2 of their own members present to take the degree plus another 10 candidates visiting from other Councils, 12 in total. The Worshipful Master W. Bro. Pierre Salem was totally unphased by the numbers and gave a flawless delivery of the degree to those lucky candidates, members and visitors present to witness such a great ceremony.

Meeting closed we retired to the bar from some pre-dinner drinks before partaking in a splendid festive board full of chatter and laughter. Food eaten, wine drunk, toasts made, fire executed before finally the Worshipful Master toasted to the next merry meeting.
