On Thursday 26th January, Ponteland Lodge MMM No. 1550 received the first Mark Provincial Visit of 2024. On this occasion the Provincial Team was led by the Provincial Grand Master, R. W. Bro. Raymond Walton, Ponteland being his own Mark Lodge. There was an excellent turn out with sixteen Provincial Officers attending along with a good number of visitors. The PGM, the Team and the visitors received a warm reception from the Master, W. Bro. Ian H. Matthews, and the other members of the Lodge.
After everyone had been welcomed into the Lodge, they were then treated to an excellent talk given by the Worshipful Master on the history of the Ancients and Moderns and how the Mark Degree was formed. Many thanks go to W. Bro. Ian for preparing such an interesting and informative talk and then giving such a well delivered presentation.
Once the formalities of the meeting were finished, to conclude the evening, 35 diners then retired to a local Indian restaurant where wonderful food was enjoyed by all.
