Acting Officers Lunch 1pm 31st May 2026
The Palace, Masonic Hall, Garden Street, St Annes on Sea
 
How quickly this traditional Lunch comes around, it’s always well supported and a really pleasant way to spend a few hours together, the Mark Masons and their partners.
Set off early as usual went straight up the on ramp for the M60, yes no traffic backup!
My wife was driving and did a really good job, before I knew it we were entering the outskirts of St Anne’s which is still being dug up, just like last year. Found the multi storey car park and she did something with a password, I’m afraid I didn’t have a clue what that was all about but it worked, a short walk and just round the corner is the Masonic Hall.
Linda goes for a mooch round the shops and a look at the sea front, I went up the stairs to the first floor, as I approached the dining area and bar, the place was buzzing, everyone in their Sunday best and having a good old chin wag. Before too long our Provincial D.C. W.Bro Arthur Robinson asked everybody to take up their allotted seats.
Once everybody was settled our PGM. R.W. Bro. Keith Alan Beardmore G.M.R.A.C. welcomed everybody to the event and to enjoy the meal.
Please view the pictures, it is difficult to get decent pictures when everyone is seated and close together but just have a look and see if you can spot your own table.
Best Wishes to any new Provincial Officers and to those who are carrying on in Office, have a great year.
