Secretaries take a minute |
|
| Monday 24 March was a bright sunny morning in Ormskirk when the members of the George Harradon Mark Lodge No 956 met at Ormskirk Masonic Hall for the second meeting since of the Lodge was rededicated as the Secretaries Lodge, back in November 2024. | |

| Attending the meeting was VWBro Geoff Bury who was accompanied by WBro Roy Hedges, PrAGDC. Roy is also the Deputy Special Rep for the Ormskirk Mark Group of Lodges. Worshipful Master, WBro Mike Pinckard opened the Lodge, passed the minutes and then invested offices not present at the Installation. | |

| Another item on the summons was the election of offices for the ensuing year. WBro Jorge Perez was declared Master Elect. Jorge has been recently announced as the Provincial Grand Junior Warden for the 25/26 season. Jorge will be invested at Provincial Grand Mark Lodge on Thursday 8th May. The meeting will take place at the Winter Gardens, Blackpool. WBro Peter Taaffe, PrGTreas, was declared Treasurer of the Lodge for the ensuing year. | |

Fred, Geoff, Mike, Jorge, Andrew Dickson, Kevin Chicken and Brian Povey |
|
| The next item on the summons was the Secretaries’ Seminar. It was a shame that there were only about a third of the Province’s, 61 Mark Lodge’s secretaries present for this important and interesting seminar. With the Lodge closed in due form it was then time for an excellent lunch. To be honest what else would you expect at Ormskirk? | |
