Essex Provincial Grand Lodge Annual Meeting
|
|
|
Dear Brother Mark Master Mason,
The Annual Meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons of Essex is to be held once again this year at The Chelmsford City Racecourse, Chelmsford, Essex. Provincial Grand Lodge is where the business of the Province is carried out, along with the Investiture of our new acting officers, first appointments and promotions. The day starts off with refreshments from 10.00am. The meeting commences at 1.00pm, followed by a superb lunch at 3.00pm. As your Provincial Grand Master, I am keen to ensure as many Essex Mark Men as possible have the opportunity to attend the meeting and I therefore wish to extend my personal invitation to you. I would be very pleased to have your company on the day. For clarity all Mark Master Masons subscribing to an Essex Lodge are entitled and are positively encouraged to attend, you do not have to be a Grand Officer, a Provincial Grand Officer, Master, or Past Master to be present. |

The Annual General Meeting for our Province this year will have a slightly different layout to last years, so if you are planning to attend, I urge you to read and familiarise yourself with the arrangements that are published as we approach the meeting date. You may attend the meeting and not dine, that is your choice and whatever you choose I will be very pleased to see you attend.
If you attend you will be present to congratulate your fellow Brethren receiving honours on the day. I know the presence of friends and fellow Brethren adds so much to their day and reiterates one of the important tenets of our degree, brotherly love and reinforces our proud boast, that we are the friendly degree.
To those Mark Master Masons who are new to the Degree, you are particularly encouraged to attend. You will have plenty of opportunities to make new friends, meet and speak to senior members of the province and enjoy the spectacle of the day.
At the bottom of this page is the calling notice and booking form, I urge you to complete it and return it as soon as you can. The order of proceedings and other useful documents will be shared on this page as they become available so please check back regularly.
I take the opportunity to congratulate all of those whether attending or not, whom I will appoint to Provincial Grand Rank on the day, enjoy your new status and wear your regalia with pride.
With my very best wishes and fraternal regards,
