PGM WRITES...

Brethren of the Mark Province of London, here we are, nearly at the end of another year. And what a year this has been! You don’t need me to remind you of the challenges which this pandemic has thrown up and how 2020 has been the most extraordinary year of all our lives. The disruption caused to our familiar activities and routines has been incalculable.

PROVINCIAL WINTER QUIZ

After a brief introductory welcome by our PGM Tom Quinn who was, remarkably, kept extremely well in order by his lovely wife Eunice, we progressed to the quiz itself. This was designed and constructed by W.Bro Dr Attilio Grandani in his own inimitable style.

ATTILIO SMASHES IT!

Attilio Grandani - with your help - has managed to smash his Movember target!

WLMC FEEDING THE NEEDY

Most of you will already be aware that since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic the Chef, staff and volunteers at the West London Masonic Centre have given their time and efforts to produce many thousands of nourishing meals and to have them delivered to the points where it makes the most impact - directly to those who are homeless or struggling to feed themselves and their children.

LONDON MARK REMEMBERS

The Provincial Grand Master hosted a very special Zoom call on Wednesday 11 November to commemorate Armistice Day, at which the Provincial Grand Tyler delivered a very special 'Tyler's Toast' to mark the occasion.

PROVINCIAL WINTER QUIZ

WBro Attilio Grandani will be hosting the Provincial Winter Quiz - lots of fun for all the family!

THANK YOU!

A huge thank you to all of you who have responded to the appeal from each of your Visiting Officers and have subscribed for a 2021 MBF Festival Lapel Badge. In these difficult days when the marketing of these precious items has had to be done by email and phone calls, your support is all the more special.

VOLUNTEERING IN ACTION

Over the past 6 months our Facebook Group and London Mallet posts and articles have abounded with many heart-warming stories and photographs of London Mark Brethren assisting the poor and vulnerable in our communities, in a wide variety of ways during the Covid-19 pandemic. The London Mallet, due for publication in a few days time, will as usual contain similar narratives and pictures. For now, here is a special piece from W. Bro. Don McGarr – a brother well known across the Province - giving us an insight into an aspect of his character, which demonstrates the truly generous spirit of Freemasonry and illustrates so well the various charges and exhortations in our rituals – to relieve the necessities of our fellow creatures.

DONATION TO THE AGOONOREE TRUST

Half of the money raised by the 50-50 Club – a total of £2,200 – has been donated to The Agoonoree Trust Fund. The organisation was founded in 1947 to enable Scouts with special needs to enjoy a summer camp and every year since then they have been holding annual Agoonoree camps for approximately 40 Scouts.

DONATION TO SUITED & BOOTED

London Mark has donated £1,000 to Suited & Booted, a charity that helps vulnerable, ex-offenders, unemployed and low-income men (some of whom are homeless) into employment by providing interview clothing and interview advice.

DONATION TO THE SILVER LINE

London Mark Masons have donated £1,000 to a charity called The Silver Line. Founded by Ester Rantzen and now part of Age UK, The Silver Line is a free confidential telephone helpline offering information, friendship and advice to older people in the UK – a service that is available 24 hours a day.

DONATION TO CITY HARVEST

Following a generous donation of £10,000 to the charity City Harvest, our Provincial Charity Steward has received this email of thanks...

DONATION TO THE DIBC

We have donated £5,000 to the Drop-In Bereavement Centre to support the emergency re-transition from their existing services providing face-to-face bereavement counselling to delivering a new telephone befriending helpline/telephone bereavement counselling...

REGALIA EXCHANGE SCHEME

For those wishing to donate or to purchase used regalia, there is a Provincial scheme to assist in the process.

Brethren, do you know anyone who might be interested in joining our fantastic Order of the Mark Master Masons of London?
Print out a couple of the new explanatory leaflets and share your experience with friends in the Craft and Royal Arch!

LODGES OF SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY

There are a small number of Lodges within the Mark Province of London which may be able to provide a relatively rapid progression to the Office of Worshipful Master, for Brethren who demonstrate application and commitment to the Mark Ceremony and Ritual.
