The lodge was opened by the Worshipful Master, Robert Frankl who conducted the ceremony of installation of his successor, Gerry Young, in a faultless manner.

The annual meeting of Cheshire & North Wales District is considered a local one for the traveling brethren of East Lancashire. Therefore, it was no surprise we had 10 brethren in attendance at Maesgwyn Masonic Hall in Wrexham.
RW Bro. Graham Newton District Grand Prefect for East Lancashire accompanied by his deputy Trevor Parvin and a number of other brethren made the relatively short journey down the motorway to enjoy the companionship and the annual meeting of one of our close neighbours in the order. Everyone arrived in plenty of time with no hiccups on the motorway reported.
The District of Southern Counties was constituted in 1997 with the R.W.Bro. Harold Gould as the first District Grand Prefect, and it consisted of 6 Councils. By 2005 the District had 16 Councils and was considered geographically too large to be administered, so by 2007 it was reconstructed into three Districts, Surrey, Sussex and Southern Counties covering Hampshire and Isle of White. Today Southern Counties District consists of 9 Councils including an Installed Masters Council.
