On Wednesday 28th June 2023 a contingent of Northumberland brethren, consisting of the PGM, DPGM, APGM, PPGM and ProvGDC, crossed the River Tyne to attend the Annual Provincial Meeting of the Mark Province of Durham. This took place at The Fed in Dunston, Gateshead, where a very warm welcome was given by their PGM, R. W. Bro. David Hanson, along with the other members of the Province.
There was then an excellent Provincial meeting with the usual business taking place, including the appointment and investiture of the Provincial Grand Officers of the year.
Congratulations to all those who were appointed and invested, and we hope they enjoy their new ranks and have a very happy and enjoyable year in office.
After the meeting had closed the afternoon continued with an excellent festive board in the company of good friends, during which the PGM of the Craft in Durham, RW Bro John Thompson, had the pleasing duty of presenting a cheque for £5,000 from Durham Benevolence to the Durham 2029 MBF Festival and he wished them well in their festival campaign,
Another day of the Magic of the Mark!

The Travelling Sceptre, without the use of a Satnav, has found its way back to Whitley Lodge of Royal Ark Mariners No 788. It’s there to be rescued.
The Travelling Gavel has left Whitley Bay and moved from the furthest east of the Province to the furthest west and is now in the possession of Hexham Lodge of Mark Master Masons No 1141. Perhaps it can now make its way to the far north to compete the Northumberland triangle.
