This week saw Barton Court Lodge No. 5468 in the depths of the New Forest in the raising of Brother Marc Aslett. The ceremony was honoured by not just one, but two APGM’s in the presence of our very own W.Bro. Chris Lockwood, and W.Bro. Ian Preece from the South Central area of the Province.![]()

Worshipful Master David Leslie opened the proceedings and performed with excellent skill not only the Raising, but also the Exhortation, Fifteen Fellow Crafts, and The Charge, ably supported by his other officers most notably the SD W.Bro. Na’el Clarke. Na’el led Bro Marc through the ceremony admirably, but also undertook the Tools and the Walking Charge.![]()
