The visit by W. Bro. Henry Hobson and his delegation to Keystone Mark Lodge and The Hospitallers’ Lodge of Royal Ark Mariners proved to be a double bubble in more ways than one. In the RAM we had the great enjoyment of watching a double elevation, of a father and son, Bros. Brian and Lionel Correya – very ably guided through a delightful ceremony by W. Bro. Ivor Cook and his son Bro. Ivor Lee. At the end of the ceremony both new brothers were welcomed into the Order by the APGM. There being very little actual business to do in the Mark meeting we were further treated to a presentation of the Mark Tracing Board by W.Bro Sanjiv Gohil, A.G.IoW, which was very well delivered and received. Much to his obvious surprise he was immediately escorted to the SW wicket to receive his well-deserved wages in the form of the unique edition Keystone commemoration token. The members then retired to the festive board which on this occasion was very much a family affair.
