Strategy Seminar

29

March

The second Grand Officer/Visiting Support Officer Seminar was held at Penshaw Masonic Hall tonight and was well attended as was last night’s Seminar at Ferryhill Masonic Centre.

The main speakers were the Provincial Grand Master, John Thompson, and Rak Bhalla with Tom Gittins filling in and the subject was the 2022 and beyond National Strategy for Craft and Royal Arch with emphasis on its impact in the Durham Province.

A quirky beermat, introduced by Rak, will soon be seen in your masonic halls with the Members Pathway outlined in its artwork.

The evening concluded with a question-and-answer session and a light supper. The many points outlined and raised in the Seminar will be put forward to all members as the directive for the province, in the near future.
