Worshipful Brother Garry Kitchen, the Provincial Senior Grand Warden, joined the brethren of the Friendship Mark Lodge 16Ti, at their recent meeting. During the meeting, the brethren, lead by their Worshipful Master, Worshipful Brother Barrington Sowden, undertook an excellent advancement ceremony of another new member of their lodge, Brother Barry Atrill. Following the ceremony, their previously advanced candidate, Brother Daniel Bailey, was presented with his Grand Lodge certificate.

It is worthy to say that, like many smaller lodges who have struggled to recruit following the pandemic, this lodge went through some darker times, however the oldest Mark lodge in the world, in the world’s oldest Province, is starting to turn a corner, with another candidate in the pipeline.
