| The Quarterly Communication of the Grand Lodge of MMM was held at our Craft HQ, Gt. Queen St, to accommodate the numbers expected. This was on Tuesday 10TH Sept. The PGM was delighted to be accompanied by no less than 19 members from WL., of whom 18 dined. Goat's Cheese Starter, followed by open Fish Pie (delicious) and banana brulee. | |

| The photos attached of those attending, (with apologies for any omissions). RW Bro Thomas Firth Jackson PGJW proved camera shy. He was technically present as The Grand Master of the Allied degrees, but we were delighted to welcome him as our former Special Rep. It was also a privilege to be accompanied by W. Bro Phil Gunning, our A.Pr.G.M. in the Craft. Unfortunately W Bro. Ken Jackson, (Barrow) who had booked in was unable to attend because of ill health on the morning. We wish him a speedy recovery. | |
