W.Bro Mark ‘Bugsy’ Malone received his 1st Appointment at this year’s Annual Meeting at Freemasons’ Hall as a Provincial Grand Steward.  Appointment to ‘the Red Apron’ is a singular honour for both the individual and the Lodge and marks the first step in a hopefully long and distinguished Provincial career.

Competition for the office is stiff as Provincial Grand Steward appointments are limited to those that have shown particular commitment and talent. Typically, only 10 new ‘ProvGStwds’ are appointed each year out of a Province of circa 5000 masons.

In addition to W.Bro. Mark’s  excellent appointment, W.Bro. Nick Tyrrell was re-appointed for a further year as a Senior Visiting Officer Visitor and Provincial Deputy Grand Director of Ceremonies.
