Right Worshipful Brother David C. Purdie, together with a number of Provincial representatives, travelled north into Somerset recently to join the brethren at their annual meeting of Provincial Grand Lodge at the Webbington Hotel in Axbridge.

Whilst there, it was a nice opportunity to see the west country provinces of Devonshire and Cornwall joining together for a photo call before the festive board, standing shoulder to shoulder, without any need for shields, barriers or cream teas to keep them apart.

Pictured with the PGM and brethren from Devonshire, are Right Worshipful Brother Peter J.J. Furness, the Provincial Grand Master, Worshipful Brother Mike Pritchard, the Deputy Provincial Grand Master and Worshipful Brother Simon Trevains, the Provincial Grand Secretary.
