As we embark upon a new Masonic Season, you will realise that we have only 20 months left until our MBF Festival concludes. Our total funds raised are creeping steadily upwards but now is the time that we must all try our very best to ensure that we raise a total which is worthy of our great Province. I feel confident that I can rely on each and every one of you.
Much work continues behind the scenes preparing for the final banquet on 3 July 2021. The ticket price has been set at £75.00 and I would take this opportunity of reminding everyone that this is the actual cost of the event. There are no free bars, free meals or any kind of support to anyone attending. Every person attending pays the same irrespective of rank or position. Booking forms will be available on 14 June next year and early booking is recommended as we are anticipating in excess of 700 attendees.
I must again express my thanks for the efforts of the Festival Ambassadors, the Banquet Committee and the Festival Committee for all their hard work. Thanks also to the Provincial Grand Master and the two Assistants for continually encouraging brethren to support the Festival, whenever they are out. Finally, I am most grateful to each and every one of you for your generous contributions. It is you who will ensure that we reach a total that we can be justifiably proud of.
My best wishes to you all and continue to enjoy your Mark Masonry and your fundraising efforts

John
