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’.
