On the 30 September 2016, our Provincial Grand Master, RW Bro Max Bayes, dedicated the banner for Silverstone Lodge 9877. He was very well supported by 17 members of the Provincial team, and, in total, there were 90 people in attendance from over 40 lodges both in and outside the Province of Northamptonshire and Huntingdonshire.
It was a great evening with the banner being finally unveiled and dedicated by W Bro Ray Hemmingray PProvGChap, which was a special treat as W Bro Ray Hemmingray had assisted in the consecration of the Lodge in May 2013 and is an honorary member of the Lodge. This was the first time that Silverstone Lodge had returned to Sheaf Close since its consecration in 2013, which was one of the very first meetings held at the new Provincial centre. The banner was escorted around the Lodge by five of the founders of the lodge and the ceremony was conducted by the Provincial Grand Master RW Bro Max Bayes and supported by Provincial Grand Director of Ceremonies W Bro Dale Gilbert. The Master accepted the banner on behalf of the Lodge which is looking forward to displaying it at their next regular meeting on the 4 November 2016, where normal service will be resumed and Fish and Chips will be served.
The Provincial Grand Master, RW Bro Max Bayes, is pictured below with the Worshipful Master of Silverstone Lodge, W Bro Richard Stokes and other members of the Lodge.
