Ian Talboys of Delphis Lodge Writes.

On Saturday 20th of June, members of Delphis Lodge sojourned across the border to Lydney in Gloucestershire for the consecration of the new Heart of the Forest Lodge, No. 10086. 

Heart of the Forest will be a daytime Lodge meeting in Coleford in the Forest of Dean. 

The Consecration Team, led by RW Bro. Ian Davies, Prov. Grand Master for Gloucestershire, carried out an excellent Consecration ceremony. 

After a short break, RW Bro. Davies then Installed W. Bro. Peter Watkins, Assistant PGM for Gloucestershire, as its Worshipful Master. 

Peter was presented for Installation by W. Bro. Colin Bates, who initiated Peter into Delphis Lodge back in 1993. 

Also present was W. Bro David Jenkins, of Delphis Lodge, who was Junior Warden on the night of Peter’s Initiation. 

Peter expressed his joy and gratitude that both Colin and David were able to be with him on such a special and memorable occasion. 

Also present were W. Bros Ian Talboys and John Mayo-Evans
