We're really looking forward to celebrating our Bi-Centenary, raising some funds for the Festival, but most importantly, having fun!

An excellent evening at Colne Lodge No 4402, very well supported by the other four Lodges. 11 guests in attendance were welcomed and given lots of food for thought and will hopefully join a Lodge. Thanks to all the many people involved who put a great deal into this event.

Wonderful night at the Lodge of Perseverance No 345 in Darwen last night. Congratulations on 50 years in Freemasonry to James Abbott. James’ daughter Alison along with wives and partners of the members joined in the celebrations and enjoyed an excellent meal after.

Northern Area Freemasons at the Armed Forces day in Townley Park, Burnley. Promoting Freemasonry and supporting Andrew Powell of Thursby Lodge who organises the event. Great day for the armed forces and some good conversation with potential new members. @ELMasonsNorth

@ELMasonsEast This news was devastating. You’ll go a long way to meet a nicer man. Tragic! RIP Kenny and condolences to his family at this sad time.

An excellent meeting at Whalley Arches Lodge yesterday. The APGM @DaveMcGurty462 presided over proceedings when David Blenkinship celebrated 50 years in Freemasonry. A full Lodge room at Whalley Masonic Hall enjoyed the meeting and the social board afterwards. @WhalleyMasons

Well done to all the Northern Area Freemasons who gave up their Sunday morning to Marshall the 10k run in aid of the East Lancs Hospice. It was cold, but the buzz about the event, which was well attended, was great? @elhospice @ELMasonsNorth

[Brian Derbyshire @BrianD462]

@choffy27 Merry Christmas Malcy - great to see you smiling, like the cat that got the cream 😉
