On Tuesday 11th April 2023, Backworth Lodge of MMM No 1180 were delighted to receive a Provincial Visit.
It was another wonderful turnout by the Team and, on this occasion, was led by the APGM W. Bro. Paul Hilditch PAGStdB.
After the Team had been welcomed into the Lodge, the Master, W. Bro. Phil Moat P.Prov.G.J.W., then delivered an excellent talk about the provision, training, and the use of Guide Dogs for those with sight impairment.
This proved to be of great interest to everyone and was fully illustrated by anecdotes revolving around the dogs themselves, which were both entertaining and informative. It should be noted that the Master presented his talk with virtually no notice, and without notes, as a problem arose with what had originally been planned for the evening. Many thanks go to W. Bro. Phil for standing in and giving such a knowledgeable and well delivered presentation.
When the talk had concluded there then followed a Q & A session which lasted for some time due to the interest of the brethren in what the Master had talked about in his presentation.
After the Lodge had been closed there then followed an excellent festive board where good food was enjoyed in good company.
Another evening of the ‘Magic of the Mark’.
