Report on Meetings of March 2018
Report on Meetings of March 2018
Again, what a meeting! With over 150 attendees, invited guests, 11 joining members in the RAM and 15 in Mark, the Saxon Temple was full and the evening was a complete success.
We started the meeting in RAM where the Lodge was honoured to receive the Provincial Grand Master who formed a Provincial Royal Ark Mainer Assembly with his Active Officers. The purpose was twofold, first to confer Provincial RAM Grand Rank on this years recipients, and then as an opportunity for the PGM to address the Brethren.
Our congratulations go to the following Brethren as recipients of Provincial RAM Grand Rank:

The Provincial Grand Master then went on to deliver his address as follows:
In the Mark Lodge there was the important business of Installing the new Master. W.Bro. Richard Goodwin, having confirmed his adherence to the Regulations, took his Obligation and, in an Assembly of Installed Masters was installed as Master of the Lodge.
All MMMs being readmitted, he was pleased to appoint his officers. All aspects of the Ceremony were performed to the full satisfaction of the Brethren, particularly the Addresses.
Before closing, the PGM rose under the 3rd and 4th Risings and announced that the next Master of the Lodge should be
W.Bro. Mark Reeve, PDepGSwdB, APGM. he will be elected at the next meeting in September.
All business being completed, the Brethren retired to the magnificent Jubilee Suite where an excellent Festive Board was presented by the tireless staff at Saxon Hall. All in all, a fine evening of Essex Masonry.
