Brethren,
First of all, a great big THANK YOU ! to all who have so far donated their old Craft 2015 ties etc.
Over 50 items have now been sold on ebay and over £300 (including Gift Aid) has been raised for the Festival.
Yesterday I was at the Craft Provincial Meeting at Blackburn amongst almost 1000 Brethren, most of whom were proudly sporting the new Provincial Tie.
This means there are at least 1000 old ties out there which will never again see the light of day and will now lie consigned to a life in a wardrobe or drawer.
I WANT THOSE TIES !!!
As soon as they go on ebay, they’re selling out within a few days and I know I can sell as many as I get.
So please help me by speaking to all your Craft friends at your next meeting and asking them to donate a tie, bow-tie or hanky to our Festival (Remember, we as a Province donated £25000 to the Craft Festival !) and get those ties to me at Salford as soon as you can (or ring or email me and I’ll arrange collection).
Thanks once again and have a great weekend !
Regards, Garry.

Tie Collection and Sale, what a brilliant idea ! I had stuck my tie,hankie and bow tie in the loft but after an appeal by my Mark Lodge Secretary tonight I will pass them over for sale at our Lodge Installation Meeting on Tuesday.
