| During the pandemic a decision was made to assist the Provincial Almoner by appointing nine area representatives to work alongside the Special Reps. |
| The Area Almoner for Leigh, Wigan and Westhoughton is WBro Frank Laird, so I decided to invite him to do a talk at the social board about his duties. |
| The Brethren learned quite a lot from Frank's well thought out delivery and I think other lodges in the area would benefit from his talk. |
| More good news for Our Royal Ark Mariner Lodge, Brother Peter Tighe the secretary of Leigh Mark will be a candidate next year. |
