PROVINCIAL GRAND LODGE

Maius RAM Banner Dedication

Banner dedications are always happy occasions and the Maius RAM banner dedication proved to be no exception. Almost 20 yrs to the date of consecration, this RAM lodge, based at Risca now has it's own banner. In a packed temple, the Worshipful Commander , W.Bro Keith Barnett, called off and the brethren were joined by wives and family members to witness this landmark event. A full Provincial team were in attendance to add lustre to the occasion. There wasn’t an empty seat to be seen. The colloquy between the Worshipful Commander and Provincial Grand Master , R.W.Bro Derek Thomas, was delivered with solemnity and dignity, the banner was paraded around the Lodge accompanied by the principal officers. The Provincial Grand Chaplain delivered a fascinating oration on the differences between a flag and a banner. At the completion of the dedication, the Provincial Grand Master retired from the lodge accompanied by the provincial team , the wives and family members to finish the evening with a celebration dinner.
