| Brethren, | |||
| As we move toward Easter and PGL later in April the end of another successful year for the Provincial team approaches. We have had a record number of Team visits as the Officers have not only attended Installations, Advancements and the RAM outings but have also made several 50th and 60th celebrations extra special by their enthusiastic support. | |||
| As usual the Provincial appointments were announced several weeks ago but the naming of the Wardens was held back until the Adoniram meeting. As this is the Grand and Provincial Officers Lodge it is only fitting that they should be the first to receive the news of who the appointed Wardens are, this year being W. Bro Malcolm Sarjeant from Southport and W. Bro Lucas Kelly from Bryn. These announcements were made by VWBro Geoffrey Lee, Dep PGM, at the Lodge due to my absence. On the day I was in London at MMH attending a committee. | |||
| Announcing these two appointments later in the season means that the incumbent Wardens are allowed the full pleasure of their respective offices almost up to PGL. | |||
| This year’s team are not yet at the end of their term in office as they will act at PGL and at a team visit also, shortly after the Southport Investiture Meeting. | |||
| I do hope that as many of you as possible will be able to attend Provincial Grand Lodge on 24th April, the Assistant Grand Master will attend the meeting and I am sure we all look forward to what he will tell us about Head Office. | |||
| It does seem that February and March are the busiest Months, especially for me as there are several other Provinces holding their annual meetings along with the March GL Meeting which was again well supported by the Brethren of West Lancashire as you will see on the website. | |||
| Just returning to my visit to London. The committee is looking at, amongst other things recruitment. It is a fact we are an ageing membership even though we are holding our own in numbers. We need to strive to attract new members from the Craft Lodges in our area. There are almost 7000 West Lancashire Craft masons not yet enlightened to the pleasures of Mark Masonry and the committee are looking at the best and most innovative ways to promote new membership which I will be passing on to you all in the near future. Many other Provinces have different ways to attract membership and I am sure we will be able to adapt some of these to suit our recruitment in the future. | |||
| We intend to have a new information leaflet that you can pass on to any Craft Mason to inform them of this Order but in the meantime don't be shy, tell your Craft colleagues about our wonderful Degree and remember always have a membership form near at hand. | |||
| Best wishes and Mark Well | |||
