On Monday the 4th of July the Court of the South Saxons No. 60 was honoured by a visit from the Deputy Provincial Grand Master, VW.Bro. Mark Donovan, KAG. The meeting was held at the Ferring Village Hall, Ferring.
Before we could start the meeting the members of the Court had to turn the village hall into a Lodge room. Once everything was set up the Court was opened by the Worshipful Master, W.Bro. Michael Wiles. The Provincial Grand Marshal, W.Bro. Chris Eley, was admitted and advised the Worshipful Master that the Deputy Provincial Grand Master was in the ante room and demanded admission to the Court. The Deputy Provincial Grand Master entered in procession with several of Provincial Grand Officers, was presented with the gavel and took the Chair.
The Deputy Provincial Grand Master was then saluted with 5 under the direction of the Provincial Grand Marshal. The Deputy Provincial Grand Master said how good it was to be visiting the Court of the South Saxons again, introduced the Provincial Team and vacated the Chair.
After the regular business of the Court had been completed the Court was closed and we gathered together for the customary group photograph while the Temple was turned into a Festive Board.
The Brethren of the Court of the South Saxons and their many guests sat down to a most enjoyable fish and chips supper at the Ferring Village Hall.
