On the occasion of their May Bank Holiday Open Day, Worshipful
Master Clive Sutton was delighted to present a cheque on behalf
of the officers and brethren of the lodge for £500 to Darren Jenkins
on behalf of the Avon Owls Charity This brings the donations
given to the charity this year to a total of £720.
It will enable Avon Owls to update and improve their media
communications to raise awareness of this very important facility
for the protection of injured, abandoned and neglected birds of
prey.
Avon Owls now has its own hospital wing with the services of a
local specialist vet. Prior to this the nearest bird specialist was at
Swindon, a very long journey for an injured raptor to travel from
the South West or South Wales. Injured birds of prey are not
known to travel well. We wish all at Avon Owls well for the
future.

Provincial Mark Weekend
at Sandbanks Hotel, Poole

The 2016 Mark Provincial weekend was held at The
Sandbanks Hotel, Sandbanks, Poole last April. The event
was hosted by Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master
John Graham Morgan and organised by Worshipful Brother
Robin Back, their hard work was appreciated by all.
This event is an annual occurrence which enables all members
of the Mark Degree and their partners to get together and
enjoy a weekend away. Some of us came down on
the Friday joined by many more for the formal
dinner on Saturday.
Those of us who were there on Saturday morning
decided to go in one of two directions, either to the
Harbour and town of Poole or the town centre in
Bournemouth. Whilst queuing at the bus stops it
was noted only one of the brethren had to pay the
appropriate fare while everyone else used their free
bus passes! Unlike last year the weather was very
kind to us over the weekend.
It was a most enjoyable weekend the
highlight being the Saturday formal dinner
and entertainment a good time was had by
all….Long may this event continue.
