Welcome to The West Lancashire Mark Masons Web Site | ||||
 |
||||
 |

 |
||||
| Brethren, | ||||
| We are moving toward what we normally see as the end of our Mark Masonic season with Provincial Grand Lodge early in May and the conclusion of Lodge meetings toward the end of that month. | ||||
| We are however still under suspension of Lodge meetings with the Government’s road map to recovery having just started. We will await guidance both from Government and Grand Lodge on any resumption before making a Provincial announcement on lifting the suspension. | ||||
| This years Provincial Grand Lodge on 5th May will be held in virtual form commencing at 10am and notice of this meeting has been circulated to all members this week. | ||||
| Please join this meeting as the usual business of the Province will be conducted on the day. |
||||
| We were all saddened by the passing of HRH Prince Philip, a Freemason for over 60 years and although not a Mark Mason he upheld all our principles and virtues and was an example of exemplary service to the Country. | ||||
| A letter of condolence to Her Majesty the Queen has been sent on behalf of the Province. | ||||
| As to the immediate future, I am optimistic that the resumption of Lodge activities will commence in September, conditions prevailing, and I would encourage all Lodge Directors of Ceremonies to contact all Lodge officers to ensure they are comfortable with the ritual in order that normal Lodge working can proceed at the earliest opportunity. | ||||
| It is imperative that recruitment of candidates should be intensified to replace those members we have sadly lost in the pandemic. I stress again that there are over 7000 Craft Masons in West Lancashire who are not yet Mark Masons. Some Craft Lodges do not have a single Mark Mason amongst their membership and we must reach out to these Brethren who have yet to experience “The Magic of the Mark” especially the younger Masons who would find the atmosphere in our Mark Lodges most conducive. |
||||
| The open forums have been very successful and another will be held on 27th April @7pm. The last open forum was over subscribed with some Brethren unable to log on due to number restrictions. In order to address this the Province has arranged that this restriction will not apply on this next meeting. |
||||
| I look forward to seeing you all at both this next open forum and VBM Provincial Grand Lodge on 5th May. | ||||
| Keep safe, | ||||
| Mark Well | ||||
| Rt W Bro Keith Beardmore | ||||
| Provincial Grand Master | ||||
