Last night Metropolitan A had a full evening’s work. Having opened the Council, the brethren then warmly welcomed WBro Philip Freedman DistGSW who entered the Lodge with a delegation of District Officers. There then followed the ceremony of the Knights of Constantinople, expertly led by RW Bro John Keyes and ably performed by all the Officers – many of whom had had no notice they would be playing a part! After that, Bro John Cogger was Installed as Worshipful Master of the Council in a superb ceremony conducted by WBro Colin Swaine.

The Brethren then retired to the Festive Board to enjoy one of 86’s famous carvery dinners. Overall, it was evening of great teamwork and camaraderie!
