Scout Mark Lodge
Written on Monday, 10 January 2022 16:32
A number of Brethren have expressed their interest to the Provincial Grand Master to form a Scout Mark Lodge in Hampshire and Isle of Wight as a number of other Provinces have already done. To gauge the viability of such a Lodge we need to know how many Mark Masons would be pleased to join such a Lodge. It is intended that the Lodge will welcome Joining Members and Candidates for Advancement from other degrees who may be keen Scouters and attracted to a Scout Mark Lodge. Please contact the Secretariat if you are interested in joining such a Lodge.

Provincial Almoners Letter from Andover
Written on Monday, 03 January 2022 16:35 Read more...
Dear Brethren All,
May I start by wishing you all a Healthy and Happy New Year.
Well here we are at the start of another year, let us hope that things might become more tolerable and we can, perhaps, get towards some normality again. I trust that you were all able to enjoy the Christmas Festivities as you had planned. We were lucky in that between the 22nd December and Boxing Day were had the good fortune of seeing and being with our children at some time. We were well looked after and I did not have to do any cooking, although low in numbers, by design, each time we met, we felt the benefit of a supportive family. We did celebrate Pat’s birthday on the 1st January and requested that the family, those who could attend, stagger their visits, which they were able to do. It meant a long day but it was very enjoyable.
