The Companion Orders of Mark and Order of the Secret Monitor came together at Thomas Beevor Mark Lodge at Great Yarmouth, with Norfolk OSM Supreme Ruler Stuart Offord being Advanced into the Mark Degree.
Stuart and the lodge were very well supported with an exceptional number of visitors, many also OSM members, to see a well performed ceremony shared among the members. Thomas Beevor Honorary Member and OSM Grand Officer Chris Bowles gave an excellent presentation of the Signs of the Degree.
Alao in attendance was the Mark Deputy Provincial Grand Master Gary Allen, Past Deputy Provincial Grand Master (and DPGM in Charge) Ray Clarke, ten Grand Officers as well as six Active Provincial Grand Officers, whose names and ranks were (nearly) perfectly rememebred by the Director of Ceremonies Billy Robinson.
It was a sign of how highly Stuart is held in Freemasonry, that so many visitors attended to witness his Advancement Ceremony.
