It had been in the planning stages for many months and finally on Thursday 30th May 2019 Old Rectory Lodge of RAM No. 1398 moved both location and the timing of their meeting. The Lodge has now become the first daylight Royal Ark Mariner Lodge in the Province meeting at 11am and moving their location to Wokingham after many years meeting at Caversham. The dates of their meetings are now the last Thursday in May and the Installation meeting on the 4th Thursday in August.
This meeting saw 6 members joining, 5 of which are pictured above, another submitting a form and the announcement of a candidate to be Elevated. The first signs are very positive and it is hoped that the Lodge will go from strength to strength.
