Semper Fidelis Lodge of Mark Master Masons No 880
 
Business meeting, Monday 15th December 2025, at the Masonic Temple, St. Annes.
18 Brethren present, including WBro. Clive Gitsham, WM Imperial Mark and WBro. Paul Smedley who acted as JD for the night.
The WM. Bro. David Pallister opened the meeting and proceeded to work through the business on the agenda.
One of the items in the absence of other nominees was to proclaim WBro. Alan Davies SW as the Master elect for the ensuing year.
Other offices were elected including WBro. David Kenworthy as treasurer.
WBro. Tony Cross presented a Grand Lodge certificate to Bro. Steve Beastall who had been advanced at the October meeting.
The final business on the summons was worked through by the WM and the Lodge was closed. After the obligatory photo shoot, all the Brethren adjourned to the bar and onto the Festive Board where an excellent meal was provided by the chef.
A raffle was held organized by Bro. Liam Bird in his usual forthright and assertive manner!
A great night was had by all!
