Thursday morning saw Very Worshipful Brother Chris Evans install Worshipful Brother Alan Richard (Dick) Smith as Worshipful Master of the Blue Lamp Lodge at Chepstow Masonic Centre. There were Brethren present from Monmouthshire and many other provinces, in excess of 90 Brethren, to witness V.W.Bro. Chris perform an outstanding ceremony of installation. The ceremony was followed by a hugely enjoyable festive board with many staying for several hours after the festive board to enjoy the company of their Brothers. The Lodge presented a cheque for £2024 towards the 2024 Charity Festival to the Provincial Grand Master, Right Worshipful Brother Richard G. Davies. Several Brethren from Pontypool were in attendance including of course V.W.Bro. Chris Evans.
