A Grand Prix Meeting at Three Counties

On Wednesday the 24th of May 2023, The Three Counties Lodge No. 9278 held a most successful Past Rank Promotions meeting at Freemasons' Hall, The Griggs Centre, Sheaf Close, Northampton.

Continuing in a similar manner to the Provincial Grand Lodge meeting the previous week, the meeting was very well supported and held a special significance for our Provincial Grand Master, RWBro Mark Constant, as this was first such meeting in his tenure as PGM.

There was a great air of anticipation at a packed Festive Board, when The Provincial Grand Master, RW Bro Mark Constant made the draw for the winning ticket of the Grand Prix Raffle, which had been launched at the previous meeting of The Three Counties Lodge on 31st October 2022.

The PGM confirmed that this raffle had been so well supported by brethren throughout the Province that as a result, a magnificent sum of over £14,000 had been raised for the 2024 MCF Festival Appeal, before going on to confirm the name on the winning ticket was that of WBro. Pravin Patel of Gates of Billing Lodge (pictured below).
