supports local Charities. And nearly £3000 will be paid out in
prizes...John Nicholson.

the meeting, the fact that. Richard, worked with the Installing Master,

reason to attend. “ W. Bro. Garry Hughes 1615
Couple that with the fact that Richard had not been able to visit his Mark
Lodge in Hong Kong for over ten years, there were very compelling “ Mrs. Debbie Nicholson 177

Who won respectively,
£150, £60 and £40.

Tradition informs us that at the building of the Temple, each
workman placed his own Mark upon his own material. The tools
of a Mark Master Mason are the Chisel and the Mallet, with
which he fashions his work. His Mark, therefore, should be one
made with the straight cutting edge of the Chisel. A Mark should
be composed of straight lines in any form, whether in squares,
angles or triangles. Such Marks can be made by the edge of the
Chisel, under the stroke of the Mallet. Information courtesy The
