At the Friendship & Care Lodge of RAM No. 1555 on Friday 18th October 2019 the Provincial Grand Master presented a Grand Lodge Certificate to Bro. Steve Adamek (first left). Bro. Derek Barrett (first right) was then Elevated into the Degree of Royal Ark Mariner by the Worshipful Commander, W.Bro. Seamus McEaney.
It was about the same time in the previous year that the Provincial Grand Master was extolling the benefits of the degree to Bro. Derek when they were both attending the District Meeting in Cyprus, clearly he must have sold the degree well in persauding Derek to join.
