Inquirimus Installation and donaton to Festival

 inquirimus Oct2026 1

A packed Lodge and a wonderful buzz of anticipation set the scene as Inquirimus Lodge of Installed Masters welcomed its new Worshipful Master, Karl Ward.

Fred Thornton skilfully conducted the Installation, with Provincial Grand Master Mark Iveson and a team of Active Officers joining the brethren for this special occasion.

On behalf of the Lodge, Karl presented the Provincial Grand Master with a generous £1,000 donation towards Festival 29, a much-appreciated contribution.

The evening concluded with a thoroughly enjoyable Festive Board, plenty of good company and the famed Knickerbocker Glory, the perfect finishing touch!

Congratulations to Karl, and every good wish for a happy and successful year in the Chair.

 

What is a Festival?

What is the target?

It is hoped that every member will give what they can toward this excellent cause.

As well as individuals Lodges and Chapters are encouraged to attain a level of achievement based on their membership.

It is hoped that most Lodges and Chapters will reach one of the achievements and that at the very least all will have given something.

How do I support The Festival?

Donations can be made in a number of ways, but it is hoped that most members will sign up for a regular promise by direct debit.

You can also donate online here.
