The Installation Meeting of “Devon” Lodge was held at The Masonic Hall, Newton Abbot with an excellent attendance. Among the many distinguished Brethren was Worshipful Bro. Christopher Yard, Assistant Provincial Grand Master and Presiding Officer for the fourth occasion in sucession. W.Bro. R. Whitaker was Installed as Worshipful Master and then appointed and invested his Officers. The Address to the Worshipful Master was presented by his son W.Bro.J. Whitaker, Deputy Provincial Grand Master of Hampshire and Isle of Wight. After completing the Labours of the Meeting the Lodge was closed in due and ancient form. The Installation Banquet, complete with the formal Toasts and Responses plus the hearty rendition of the Master’s song, was held at the Teignmouth Masonic Hall. A memorable family occasion for our new Worshipful Master and all the Brethren.
