The Provincial Grand Master finished his annual report by reiterating the following:

I can say to the Brethren of Tarbert, as to all Lodges, that when you support the PGL and myself, then it is easy for me to return that support to you and your Lodges

The Provincial Grand Master would like to extend his thanks to Lodge St Modan for being such excellent hosts. Thank you also to Office-bearers who have been such a great support to the PGM throughout the year in attending communications, installations and official visitations in the province.
