At the Lodge of St Paul on Tuesday 12th March 2024, over forty visitors including fifteen active Provincial officers were in attendance to support WBro Dan Cooke, in his official capacity as the representative of the PGM. WBro Dan had just been welcomed by the WM when there was a firm knock on the door. It was an absolute shock to all when the ProvGDC Roger Blason entered and announced that the PGM RWBro Mark Constant demanded admission, with ProvGSec William Diggins in support. The imperturbable WM WBro David Etty was a little perplexed when the PGM accepted the gavel and assumed the chair of KS. This unusual start soon revealed its purpose when the PGM revisited a harrowing incident from a previous meeting when WBro Michael Branch suffered a cardiac arrest.
