Saturday 28th June and another very warm day (29’) for the Annual Provincial Meeting of Northampton, Huntingdon and Bedford. This time it was our DeputyProvGM, V. W. Bro. Richard Northey, who made the long journey south to Freemasons’ Hall, The Griggs Centre, Sheaf Close, in Northampton for the meeting. This thankfully, being a relatively new building, had efficient air conditioning which was much appreciated by the brethren. Another warm and friendly welcome was given by their ProvGM, R. W. Bro. David Sowerby, and the members of the Province to the many Distinguished Guests present.
There then followed a well-run and enjoyable Meeting during which, after the DeputyPGM had been re-appointed, W. Bro. Stephen Andrew Hardy was appointed and invested as the new Assistant Provincial Grand Master. There then followed the usual Provincial business which included the appointment of the Officers of the Year. We congratulate all who were appointed and hope they have a happy and enjoyable year in office.
After the meeting had concluded there followed an excellent Festive Board which featured a very enjoyable roast beef dinner. As always, this proved to be another great day with old and new friends.
Another wonderful example of the ‘Magic of the Mark’ which made the long journey to Northampton well worth the effort!
