£6,500 presented at installation
The installation ceremony at Ancient Union and Princes Lodge was held at Garston Masonic Hall when Colin Clark was installed as the Master, for the third time. He was first installed in 1988 and again in 1997.
Howard Griffiths the Garston Group Vice-chairman, represented the Provincial Grand Master and was presented with two marvellous cheques for charity. The first was a cheque for £5,000 for the West Lancashire 2010 Festival and the second for £1,500.00 for Help for Heroes.
Howard thanked the members of the lodge for their generosity and commended them for their choice of recipients.

Open night at Garston
The chairman and directors of Garston Masonic Hall hosted an open evening with complimentary buffet and wine. The object of the evening was to allow the Brethren from the group to view the refurbishments which had taken place during the summer break.
The lounge area has undergone a complete refit including mood lighting and a redesigned bar area. The Lewis room has also been refitted together with new lighting and room divider. This room is ideal for festive boards of up to 35 diners.
More than 50 Brethren attended the evening including group officials and Assistant Provincial Grand Master Howard Jones who kindly performed the re opening ceremony.
The hall chairman, Malcolm Yates, thanked all the brethren for attending and proposed a vote of thanks to his fellow directors for the support they had given him in organising the building works.

Lodge donates another £10,000
More than £10,000 was handed over at the installation meeting of Ancient Union and Princes Lodge No 203 in Garston Masonic Hall, Liverpool. The Lodge was honoured to have as its principal guest the Provincial Grand Master, Peter Hosker.
After the installation the Worshipful Master, Martin Mariott, presented the Provincial Grand Master with two magnificent cheques. The first was for £5,150 for the 2010 Festival and the other in the same sum for the West Lancashire Freemasons’ Charity.
In all the Lodge and its 26 membership have contributed £20,416.67p to the 2010 Festival which is a staggering £785 per capita. This is in addition to the thousands of pounds given to the new Masonic Charity and the recent previous ones as well as to local non-Masonic causes such as the Marie Curie Hospice in Woolton, Liverpool.
John Bottomley, regional charity steward for Garston, said he would like to thank all members of the lodge for their sterling efforts.
