On Saturday 22nd March, the members of Lodge Of Charity No.350 gathered at Bolton Masonic Hall for their annual Installation Ceremony. This significant event saw Bro Dan Gaunt installed into the Chair of King Solomon in an outstanding manner.

Recognising his significant contributions to Bolton Masonic Hall, the 2026 Festival and the wider Province, the installation was attended by the Very Worshipful Deputy Provincial Grand Master, John Griffin, and the Assistant Provincial Grand Master, Dr Simon Archer.

WBro Michael Greenhalgh served as the Installing Master, with WBro Jeremy Aston as the Installing Director of Ceremonies. Despite only having a few weeks to prepare due to unforeseen circumstances, they delivered an exemplary ceremony that was both polished and profound.

Following the formal proceedings, the celebrations continued into a lively festive board, rounding off a fantastic evening.

Congratulations to WBro Dan Gaunt on his installation – we wish him a successful and rewarding year in the Chair!
