Regency/Fidelity Installation

24th July saw the annual Installation meeting of Regency/Fidelity Lodge 40/2 at Croydon Masonic Hall

. This Lodge as the name suggests is really two Lodges joined together, but as Fidelity No. 2 was one of our original Lodges from 1913 when we were founded, it was felt that the name should be preserved.

VW Bro Jane a PM of this and two other Lodges was Installed into the Chair by W Bro Anne.
