Twist in the tale: Wardens’ photo rivalry spills over into the Royal Arch
Freemasons support group whose members prove that little things mean a lot

Provincial Wardens Gideon Hall and David Carter have been sharing a friendly rivalry all year – to discover which of them can get more pictures of themselves on Facebook. And the ‘competition’ even spilled over into the Royal Arch, as both turned up for the Shire Chapter installation when Andy Downes went into the red robe as Z.
David Buckenham put a different spin on his toast to the Principals. On the build up Andy had joked it was his Coronation, as Z has a crown. Dave had the last laugh by presenting him with a crown at the Festive Board, which he’s wearing in our main picture.
