Last night at Middleton Masonic Hall saw the 3 Mark Lodges based there holding a joint Open Evening.

In attendance was the PGM RWBro Alexander Sillars McLaren together with his Deputy VWBro John Hartley Smith and Assistant WBro Gerald Noel Howard Young. They were accompanied by a large Deputation of the Acting Provincial Officers of the year.

They all welcomed the 19 Craft Members who had been invited who were given an excellent presentation on the Mark Degree by the Provincial Grand Secretary, WBro David Rainford.

This was followed by a superb 3 course buffet at which a total of 71 dined. A raffle was held and “thank yous” were given for all the hard work put in by the 3 Lodges particularly the main host Lodge, Friendship 1459.

Let’s hope enough was done to convince some of the 19 Craft Masons to join this great Degree !
