The Provincial Grand Master, R.W.Bro. George J. Deacon, accompanied by the Deputy Provincial Grand Master, V.W.Bro. Brian Ridler, the Assistant Provincial Grand Master, W.Bro. Tony Green and Officers of Provincial Grand Lodge attended the 75th Anniversary Celebrations of the Thistle and Shamrock Lodge of Mark Master Masons No. 1048 on Thursday 18 November 2021 in Havant. Over 70 Brethren were at the meeting which included 30 members of the Provincial Team.

Dear Brethren All,  

Here I am again hoping that you are all as well as can be expected. The trees are still entertaining us with glorious autumn colours before the leaves fall to the ground. It does look untidy but is a necessary cycle of nature. Not too much activity in the garden at present just preparing for the spring.

Dear Brethren All,  

Here we are in to November already, where is the time going. We had two days of frost this week so the garden is now bedding down for the winter season. Pat did quickly lift the dahlias and bring the other plants indoors as a result of the cold. Hopefully I will not have to cut the grass again until the spring, although I am concerned as there is a lot of moss within the grass.

Congratulations to the Brethren who will be appointed to ProvRAMGR in January 2022, find the full list here.

The first Royal Ark Mariner Lodge to celebrate 150 years!!!!

There were a series of “Firsts” at Carnarvon Lodge of Royal Ark Mariners No 62, meeting at Havant, Hampshire on Tuesday 19 October 2021.

Dear Brethren All,

Best Wishes to you all.

I feel that I need to communicate with you all so that we can keep in touch. This virus is there just waiting to pounce,  if given the opportunity. There are quite a few of our brethren who have contracted covid at meetings, even though it seems that all precautions were being taken. I am wondering if it is time to look at ourselves in order to be carrying out the thoughtful measures that might be required. It is imperative that we continue to sanitise and wash our hands as much as possible. I am not trying to be negative only expressing my thoughts as to this pandemic, which is by no means coming to an end.

The Provincial Grand Master R.W.Bro. George J. Deacon, the Deputy Grand Master V.W.Bro. Brian Ridler, P.G.J.O., the Assistant Provincial Grand Master W.Bro.

Dear Brethren All,

Good Day to you all, yes it‚Äôs me again, I have missed being in touch. I trust that you are all as well as can be expected. I start by offering my heartiest Congratulations to those Brethren who have been honoured with RAMGR, all well deserved. This, they will receive on 7^th December and it would be good if some of us are able to be there and show our support.
