As the Right Worshipful Master, I take this opportunity to thank the brethren of the Portobello Lodge No.226 for electing and installing me as the Right Worshipful Master of the lodge for the ensuing year, this is a great honour and privilege for me.

To everyone who attended the Installation Ceremony on the 5^th  of March 2022, I offer my sincere thanks for taking the time to attend.

To the newly installed office bearers I offer my congratulations and I look forward for your and the brethren’s continued support throughout the forthcoming year.

I will extend the same warm welcome given by my predecessors to all our visiting brethren and lodge members new and old and I look forward to progressing the hard work done in the past for the benefit of the lodge into the future.
