Wyre Lodge of Mark Master Masons No 754
 
A Craft Masons to dine evening at the Wyre Lodge of MMM on Wednesday 15th October 2025 at the Masonic Hall, Esplanade, Fleetwood.
The WM, Bro. Jim Gregson welcomed everybody and opened the meeting.
The WM welcomed WBro. Mike Pinckard, AProvGM, PGJD who was in attendance to deliver the Magic of the Mark presentation to the Craft Masons present on the night, of which there were 5 attending.
WBro. Kevin Chicken ProvGSec, PGStwd, had been due to attend and deliver the presentation, but he had sustained a knee injury and couldn’t attend on this occasion.
The WM worked through the business on the summons, which included the ballot for two joining members; WBro. Shaun Haynes PAGStB and Bro. Steve Willingham, both members of Imperial Mark Lodge. The ballot proved in favour and both Brothers were welcomed into the Lodge by the WM.
The Lodge was called off and the WM welcomed the Craft Masons into the Lodge room.
WBro. Pinckard delivered the Magic of the Mark presentation in a clear and enthusiastic manner highlighting the enjoyment of being a Mark Mason and followed up by answering questions.
The Lodge was called back on and the WM worked through the remaining business.
The business was finalised and the WM closed the Lodge and the members, visitors and Craft Masons, retired to the bar and onto the festive board buffet.
WBro. Mike Brown ran a Fleetwood fiddle raffle, which raised £160 for Masonic Charities.
An enjoyable night was had by all and will hopefully bring some new members into Mark Masonry on the Fylde coast! Watch this space!
