Peter’s Coates of many colours

Peter Coates was royally installed into the Chair of King Solomon of Brookfield Lodge No 5077 by Lol Spivey the Immediate

Past Master in a wonderfully warm ceremony attended by Principal Guest Philip H Gunning APrGM designate.

Peter Coates is a member of no less than 12 orders and 20 Lodges and as such is well used to the Installation ritual.

The working tools of each degree were given in exemplary fashion by Keith Fear, Philip Johnson and Brian Greenall,

whilst Brian Gittins and Geoff Preston complemented the evening with their excellent addresses to the Master and

Wardens respectively.

The brethren enjoyed a superb festive board and a wonderful evening was had by all!
