The new Lumley Lodge Wardens must have misunderstood when they were asked to make sure new WM Simon Hay had a knockout year on the chair...

Newly-installed Worshipful Master Simon Hay is looking forward to a knockout year in the chair at Lumley Lodge in Skegness – but his wardens Ollie Arnold and Alan Jarvis might have misunderstood what was meant by that, if our picture (above) is anything to go by!

His installation was a double celebration, because it fell on the 22nd birthday of newly-installed Senior Warden Ollie Arnold, who’s also a member of Floreat Lodge in London and part of the first team at Scunthorpe Rugby Club in the National League 2 North.

Lodge member Simon Noden said: “We’re looking forward to Ollie going into the Chair this time next year, because he will still be 22, if only by a matter of hours. That may well make him the youngest-ever Master in the Province, unless someone, somewhere, knows otherwise.”

APGM Jez Hyland represented PGM Dave Wheeler for the evening.
