Imperial Lodge of Mark Master Masons No 1276 |
Advancement meeting 6th October 2023 at the Masonic Hall, Poulton Le Fylde |
| The WM, WBro. Andrew Stansfield welcomed everybody and opened the meeting a little late, due to a minor issue with everybody signing on the wrong page in the tylers book! The problem was solved, and the Lodge business was worked through. |
 |
 |
 |
| A ballot was taken for the candidate which proved successful, and the officers of the Lodge worked through an excellent ceremony of advancement for Bro. Charles John Farnden. The Wardens: WBro Glenn Obrien (SW) and Bro Alan Mitchell (JW), were enthusiastic in their respective duties with the JW more than keen to swing the axe. |
 |
 |
 |
| The Deacons: WBro Clive Gitsham (SD) and WBro Roger Stansfield (JD), conducted Bro Farnden in an excellent manner and he obviously enjoyed it as he was smiling throughout. |
 |
| WBro Gitsham did a fantastic job of the working tools at literally seconds notice! |
 |
 |
| WBro. Tony Cross presented the newly advanced Bro with a welcome letter from the RWPGM. |
 |
 |
 |
| Following some internal Lodge business, the WM closed the Lodge and the members, visitors and reigning WM (Prince Setanta) retired to the bar and onto the festive board. |
 |
A good night was had by all! |
