May 15th 2023 saw the belated Installation Meeting of the Wyke Millennium Lodge; delayed by a week to allow for the bank holiday for the King’s Coronation, at least we saw on the 6th of May how it should be done!
Ours went off with a little less pomp and ceremony, but with sincerity and dedication nonetheless, and W Bro Mal Grange was installed into the chair of the Lodge with due aplomb.
This was the second time that W Bro Mal has taken the chair, the first time was in 2002; as one of the founder members of the Lodge W Bro Mal played a great part in its formation and its life ever since, and we all look forward to being led by him once again, and to supporting him in his year of office.
Moving the date of the installation meant we clashed with that of Holderness Lodge, so visitor numbers were down, but nonetheless we enjoyed our evening together with the visitors who attended.
We were pleased to welcome W Bro Paul Blacklock PPSGW representing the Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master. together with his DC for the evening W Bro Eddie Brooke.
We also welcomed two joining members to the Lodge, W Bro Jason Smawfield-Huby and W Bro Ian Sharpe, and we look forward to their company for many years to come.
After leading us for two years through a very difficult period, W Bro Andrew Cooke became the Immediate Mast Master and gets a well earned rest! Many thanks to W Bro Andrew for a good job well done!

Happy diners!
