Saturday 18^th March 2023 was the important occasion of the Annual Provincial Meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons of Cheshire.

This was well attended by a number of very distinguished guests, and as usual, a large number of supporting Northern Provincial Grand Masters were present to mark the occasion. This included our own Provincial Grand Master, R. W. Bro. Raymond Walton who had with him our Assistant Provincial Grand Master, W. Bro. Paul Hilditch. Our Deputy Provincial Grand Master, V. W. Bro. Richard Northey, being unable to attend due to Covid.

After the opening and introduction of the distinguished quests there then followed a memorable meeting which included W. Bro. Derek Joseph Walsh P.A.G.D.C. being appointed and invested as the new Deputy Provincial Grand Master, W. Bro. John David Miller being re-appointed as the Assistant Provincial Grand Master and the rest of the Provincial Grand Officers then being appointed and invested for the ensuing year.

After the meeting had closed there then followed a very enjoyable festive board in the company of good friends. In the photograph you see the large number of Provincial Grand Masters waiting to be paraded into the meeting.
