Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons

News and comments on the financial problems at the Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons

The catering operation at Mark Masons Hall has lost over £1 million. The new company formed to sell regalia has lost nearly £150K. There is a pensions 'black hole' of nearly £2 million. Does the Grand Secretary and the General Board have a plan, no one is quite sure. Since the vote in Grand Lodge on the 8th June, I have had more information passed to me by various brethren outside our Province, some have asked that their name should not be included on the entry. This is quite a reasonable request as the Grand Secretary, in his email of the 15th March 2008 to Provincial Grand Masters, indicates that anyone stepping out of line will have to be dealt with. I believe the information on this blog to be accurate and correctly attributed and that the comments of various brethren are their own views.

This is the text of a letter sent to the Grand Secretary by the Provincial Grand Secretary, with the approval of the PGM. It expresses genuine concerns held by many members of this Province. However it receives the usual dismissive response from the Grand Treasurer.
