On Tuesday, 23 November, at Middleton Masonic hall, Friendship Mark Lodge No 1459 held their meeting with 26 brethren in attendance, which included 18 members along with 8 guests who were treated to a talk by the Worshipful Master Bro John Tiler, PGMO, PAPGM, about the history of Thomas Sharples Barlow Lodge No 1383 which was very interesting indeed.

WBro Jeffrey Huddart thanked the Worshipful Master for enlightening those present on the history of the TSB Lodge. The Brethren were then treated to a most enjoyable fine dining meal. Lots of banter at the social board and the raffle raised £130 towards good causes. An excellent meeting was had by all.
