Wibraham Mark

Wilbraham Mark 13th December 2012

	The PGM visited Wilbraham Mark Lodge last night.
	(13.12.12). He was pleased to be accompanied by his
	Spec Rep Eric Drinkwater and the Prov DC David
	Emmerson. Barry Fisher (from Leigh, on last year's
	team) came as Sword Bearer, and Bernard Jones
	(sec of our charities) and Bill Grimoldby (almoner and
	Tuscan Lodge ) acted as Prov Deacons.

	In the lodge Nat Killen gave the lecture on the
	Tracing board (at very short notice). This was well
	received, not least because of its special delivery, in
	Scottish vernacular !!!

	and Group Sec Neil Pedder(SO).



Later in the evening the PGM mentioned that
Wilbraham had achieved a first: the first time he had
been to a mark meeting were all the Craft Group
officials were present (see photo). He thanked them
on behalf of the Mark Order for the work they
undertook: and,of course,for their membership of
Wilbraham Lodge. Bro. David Redhead is WM and
Bro Neil Pedder, SO. A candidate had been advanced
at the last meeting in October.

The purpose of the visit was to foster fellowship
between the 2 Mark lodges (Wilbraham and Clarence)
which both meet at Widnes Masonic Hall.

Amongst other topics the PGM also referred to the unfortunate illness of W Bro Peter Browne (Chairman of
the Hall) and who was Senior Deacon on this year's Prov Team. He asked that brethren remembered Peter
in their prayers , for a steady recovery.
