Iman becomes Province’s first new Companion of 2025

In a ceremony paused by 48 hours because the normal meeting would have been on New Year’s Day Iman Zidan has been exalted into Grimsby’s Kitwood Chapter – making him the Province’s first new Companion of 2025.

In the picture Iman, from the Smyth Lodge, is seen with (from left) Mike Coleman (Iman’s seconder), David Brason, Iman, Leigh Newby, Keith Hazelwood and Chris Miller, Iman’s  proposer).

Iman was presented with a starter pack produced by Chapter DC Tim Barker, which also included the exaltee’s guide booklet.

The night’s collection raised £105 for the 2025 Festival.
