News from the Northumberland Masonic Golf Society
C/o the Provincial Grand Lodge of Northumberland
Golfers from across Northumberland Province took on Brethren from our neighbouring Province of Durham for the annual Joseph Miller Cup. The competition this year was hosted by Northumberland at the splendid Burgham Park Golf Club.
Our team went into the day optimistic that our home team advantage would help us towards victory, but unfortunately it was not to be. Durham retained the trophy with a 380 to 344 win.
The participants enjoyed a lovey 2-course meal in the clubhouse afterwards and our team captain for the day, Eric Longstaff, presented the trophy.
It was a wonderful day and all monies raised will be donated to the Masonic Covid-19 Appeal.
Congratulations Durham (we will see you next year).

Discoveries from the treasures of English Freemasonry.
Master Mason’s Apron belonging to Sir Winston Churchill, 1902.
Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965) was a British statesman and Prime Minister from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. Churchill was also a British Army officer, a historian, a writer and an artist. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and was the first person to be made an honorary citizen of the United States. He was also a Freemason, being initiated into Studholme Lodge No. 1591 (now United Studholme Alliance) in London on 24 May 1901 and became a Master Mason on 5 March 1902. He was not however very active in the Craft and never progressed beyond the rank of a Master Mason.

Brethren you may have seen a copy of the summons for the September Communication of Mark Grand Lodge which should have been held tomorrow, the 8th September. Due to the pandemic, the Communication will not be taking place.
At the Communication, W. Bro John Tomlin would have received a promotion to Past Grand Junior Overseer and W. Bro Michael Attenborough to Past Grand Junior Deacon. However the brethren who were due to receive their promotions will still assume their new ranks from that date and we wish John and Michael many congratulations on their well deserved promotions.
The summons also details grants, including three to worthy causes in Northumberland over the past few months totalling over £40,000.
It is also stated in the summons that "The Most Worshipful Grand Master has been pleased to make the following appointment
at his pleasure:W.Bro. RAYMOND ARTHUR WALTON, P.A.G.D.C., to be Provincial Grand Master for Northumberland in succession to R.W.Bro. Gordon Craigs, with effect from 26 September 2020."
Many congratulations Ray.
