| Last Saturday, 28th September, I had the privilege to visit Margate at the invitation of V.W.Bro. David Green PGJO. | |||
| David and I first met when the Temple Team visited St Andrews Lodge of MMM No 279 in Gillingham on 12th June 2009 for the Kent Mark Charity meeting. | |||
| We have been in each other’s company many times since as David, having been appointed as an Assistant Provincial Grand Master in 2008, is a regular visitor to West Lancashire. | |||
| I had known the PGM of Kent at the time, R.W.Bro. Roger Croucher, as he is a member of the Mark Token Collector’s Club, of which I am Treasurer. | |||
| Unfortunately I was not to meet Roger at Margate as he had just retired and the Pro Grand Master, M.W.Bro. Ben Addy, was in attendance to Install Roger’s successor, R.W.Bro. Archie Torrance. | |||

| It then gave me enormous pleasure to see David Green Installed as Deputy Provincial Grand Master. | |||
| At the Festive Board I glanced across a crowded room and observed another West Lancs tie. No, not our own PGM, but none other than W.Bro. Peter Brockbank PProvGJW! |
|||
| We both cast our eyes towards the north in the hope of observing R.W.Bro. Peter Connelly but, alas, Northumberland was beyond the horizon. | |||
