On the return train journey from Grand Lodge (a full report of which will follow shortly), the Provincial Grand Master, RWBro Alex Sillars McLaren took time out to make three presentations.
The first of these was to WBro John Cavanagh who received Grand Rank honours via Cheshire Province, being promoted to Grand Steward. Courtesy of East Lancs, John received his traditional Grand Stewards Apron which the PGM took great pleasure in presenting.
Our own WBro Howard Nuttall was the second recipient of the coveted Apron – congratulations Howard from all of us on your deserved promotion to Grand Steward !
Last but not least was a retirement gift of jewellery to our outstanding Virgin Trains Stewardess Tracy, who has looked after all of us so well on our numerous trips to London over the last few years – we’ll miss you Tracy !
