Grand Officers Mess Grand Officers Mess Grand Officers Mess

The latest Grand Officers’ Mess was
held at the Clevedon Masonic Centre on
Thursday 22 November 2012.
nd
Happy personal welcomes were given
by the Provincial Grand Master David
Nelson together with John Morgan his
Deputy as they circulated amongst the
arriving members. The dining room
rapidly filled as the conversation and
laughter grew louder as greetings were
exchanged.
To ensure that the dining places were
random, each diner drew a number out
of the bag and circulated the tables to find their
place. After a superb lunch prepared by
Zena, Neil Hurcum and their team, The
PGM rose, welcomed all present and
proposed the Loyal Toast and that to the
Grand Master, Prince Michael of Kent.
He then called upon the brethren for
any topic they wished to discuss.
Ritual within the lodges, progression
to the Master’s chair and when it was
permissible to read ritual within a
ceremony were amongst the many
matters considered; ideas were
proffered and a lively debate ensued. The Grand Officers’ Mess is now a regular feature on the Provincial
Calendar and by popular consent a valuable means of contact between Lodge and Province. The pictures illustrated give a candid view of
the after lunch discussion with its humour, gestures and attention…Copy/picsEd.
