A Grand Occasion

1

May

The 26^th and 27^th April 2023 saw freemasons from all over the world flock to the spiritual home of Freemasonry, Freemasons Hall in Covent Garden, London to witness the Annual Investitures of the Craft and Chapter, respectively.

A large presence of Durham brethren had headed south to support friends and colleagues receiving Grand Rank first appointments or promotions from the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, HRH The Duke of Kent.

We congratulate them on their preferment and wish them the best of health and happiness to enjoy and perform future duties in their new ranks.

The celebrations which followed the meetings were enjoyed by all present and continued by most on the train journey home.

A complete list of all recipients from both Craft and Chapter can be accessed by the links below:-
