On Saturday 20th November 2021, members of the Allied Masonic Degrees for the District of London along with distinguished brethren from other districts assembled in Grand Temple at Mark Masons' Hall for the District's Annual Meeting.

The meeting was opened at 11am by R.W. Bro. Colin Woodcock MBE, District Grand Prefect for London.

He gave a warm welcome to everybody and thanked them for their attendance. Visitors representing other districts were then introduced. All 11 Councils in London were represented by members in attendance.

A moment of silence was then observed in respect of those brethren who had passed to the Grand Lodge above during the past year. Colin also informed the brethren of the sad news that W. Bro. Anthony Carew-Hunt had passed away just a few days prior to the meeting. Tony was the District Grand Senior Deacon and a valued member of the Order and will be sadly missed.

Colin, thanked the hard work of his Executive and the secretariat for all their hard work in the past 12 months.

District Officers were then invested along with those receiving promotions.

On Wednesday 17th November, the District Grand Prefect R.W. Bro. Colin Woodcock, accompanied by a delegation, visited the meeting of Metropolitan "A" Council .

He witnessed some flawless ritual by W. Bro. Roger Keys. Firstly, conducting the degree of St. Lawrence the Martyr introducing Bro. Paul Hicks and Bro. Laurence Sams as new members to the Order and indeed to the AMD District of London. Roger then continued to perform the installation ceremony to equally high standard installing W. Bro. Terry Worrall into the Chair of St. Lawrence.

The members and visitors then retired to the third floor for a most splendid and convivial festive board. When we toasted to our next merry meeting the consensus was that the evening was what we have only come to expect from the world's oldest AMD council.
