Mitre Lodge of York No.7321 enjoyed their first full Installation Ceremony for a number of years with the Installation of Surjit Panesar into the Chair of King Solomon.

In addition, the Lodge enjoyed the company of AProvGM Simon Simpson accompanied by his Escort of Provincial Officers and a goodly number of visitors from both local and distant lodges.

W. Bro Panesar promised that his year in office would be one filled with enjoyment, many social events and supporting local charities. As a starter, a donation of £260 from the lodge was agreed for a local Girls Association & Boys Brigade that meet at the Church of the Holy Redeemer in York and a Notice of Motion was given for a £500 donation to Festival 29.

With a full book of ceremonies ahead of him W. Bro Panesar is looking forward to a busy year in office following three initiations in the last Masonic year with latest initiate Bro Julian Frazier presenting the 1st Degree Tools to the WM at his first meeting after initiation.
