Semper Fidelis Lodge of Mark Master Masons No 880 |
Advancement meeting 16th October 2023 at the Masonic Temple, St Annes…. That never was! |
The meeting was due to be an advancement for Bro David Brian Whyman. Sadly, Bro Whyman contracted covid and could not be present on the night. |
Unfortunately, the WM., Bro Mark Brown was also absent and so the Treasurer W. Bro. David Kenworthy took the chair for the night. |
The acting WM opened the Lodge and worked through the business on the agenda up to the proposed advancement. |
In its place, VWBro. Howard Emmett acting as SW read very eloquently a lecture on the Mark Master Masons Degree, which was well received by all. A refreshment of Masonic knowledge. |
The Lodge was closed, and the brethren assembled in the bar for refreshments and the festive board. |
Lively discussion ensued accompanied by a well-cooked steak! |
A number of Brethren traded in their old and very old Mark ties for the new bright and shiny Province of West Lancashire red ones! |
A good night was had by all! |
