The PGM visited Wilbraham Mark Lodge last night. | |
(13.12.12). He was pleased to be accompanied by his | |
Spec Rep Eric Drinkwater and the Prov DC David | |
Emmerson. Barry Fisher (from Leigh, on last year's | |
team) came as Sword Bearer, and Bernard Jones | |
(sec of our charities) and Bill Grimoldby (almoner and | |
Tuscan Lodge ) acted as Prov Deacons. | |
In the lodge Nat Killen gave the lecture on the | |
Tracing board (at very short notice). This was well | |
received, not least because of its special delivery, in | |
Scottish vernacular !!! | |

Later in the evening the PGM mentioned that | |
Wilbraham had achieved a first: the first time he had | |
been to a mark meeting were all the Craft Group | |
officials were present (see photo). He thanked them | |
on behalf of the Mark Order for the work they | |
undertook: and,of course,for their membership of | |
Wilbraham Lodge. Bro. David Redhead is WM and | |
Bro Neil Pedder, SO. A candidate had been advanced | |
at the last meeting in October. |
|
The purpose of the visit was to foster fellowship | |
between the 2 Mark lodges (Wilbraham and Clarence) | |
which both meet at Widnes Masonic Hall. | |
