| Brethren, | |||
| The run up to Provincial Grand Lodge was a very busy period with Team visits either side of Easter, along with a busy program for many lodges. | |||
| The Province was honoured by the attendance of the MBF President RT W Bro Dr John Wright PGSW at the St Annes lifeboat naming ceremony and dedication on April 14th and the MBF Deputy President RT W Bro Tony Morris PPrGM at the handover of the first St John treatment unit in Preston on April 21st. Both of these events are reported in the news section of the website and showed yet again the level of charity donations from the MBF and West Lancashire Charities. | |||
| The Province was honoured yet again by the presence of the Assistant Grand Master Rt W Bro Steven Davison at Provincial Grand Lodge, which was a splendid occasion, his address to the meeting proved very informative. All our distinguished guests were very complimentary about the meeting. | |||
| As Provincial Grand Lodge was a week early, due to an enforced change of date by the venue management, we envisage a slightly reduced attendance due to clashes with other events in London and other parts of the Country. | |||
| The meeting proved to be a great success from ceremonial and organisational point of view, but I was seriously disappointed and concerned that a good number of Brethren receiving honours, especially promotions to past rank, failed to attend. | |||
| Provincial Grand Lodge is geared especially for the appointment, reappointment promotion and investiture of Brethren who the Province are honouring and is attended and supported by the members of the Province to witness that ceremony. To have so many failing to turn up is a disappointment to say the least. | |||
| I trust that next year all the recipients will accept their responsibility to the Province and attend. | |||
| We are now looking forward to Grand Lodge in June and our Brethren to be honoured with acting ranks and first appointment. I know it will be well attended as will the September meeting when the Promotions will be invested but please book early as it is on a first come first served basis as the meeting will only be in the Grand Temple with no overflow rooms. | |||
| Best wishes and Mark Well | |||
