Peter steps in at Westhoughton Mark Lodge.
   
When the D.C. W.Bro Stephen Gregory ProvGJO received a phone call at 4.00 pm to say the W.M. Bro Stuart Wilson  could not leave his sick bed, he thought “Oh Dear - we have a double advancement tonight” ! , he then phoned his ADC W.Bro Peter Hegarty PPrGJW to convey the news. As Stephen was acting as Senior Deacon anyway, Peter rose to the challenge and went in as Master for the evening.
