Sixty down and more to come
 
RWBro Peter Connolly, Past Provincial Grand Master of the Mark Province of West Lancashire; celebrated sixty years in Freemasonry at the Masonic Suite at Woolton Golf Club on 21st November.
The APGM, responsible for Mersey Valley Group; WBro Andy Whittle, officiated for the celebration. Andy is better known in the Mark as a past Grand Provincial Senior Warden.
It was a well-attended meeting and among Peter’s guests was RWBro Martin Blackburn the Provincial Grand Master and Grand Superintendent of the Isle of Man. As you can imagine there was a large number of Mark Masons present, these included the PGM, RWBro Keith Beardmore, Giles Berkley, Deputy PGM, two PAPGMs, Michael Clarke and Ian Nairn and Past Deputy PGM Geoffrey Lee.
 
As well these there were Mike Pinckard; Steve Walls and Derek Horrocks and many more, all giving their support to Peter on his Diamond Anniversary in Freemasonry.
It was a very enjoyable night for everyone who attended and thanks to Old Lerpoolian Lodge for hosting the night. We wish Peter many more joyful nights like this in Masonry.
