On 19th January, the District Grand Prefect Colin Woodcock hosted an Awareness Evening at Mark Masons’ Hall for the District of London.

After warmly welcoming the 50 or so Brethren, of whom 30 were potential candidates, the DGP gave a brief history of the Order and talked about the how the District is organised, the regalia of the Order and the lessons that the five degrees teach us.

The Deputy District Grand Prefect, Steven Warwick, then mentioned the imminent consecration of the new Council – the Goose & Gridiron – and how the District anticipated that this new unit, meeting on a Saturday, would appeal to younger Masons who perhaps had busy work schedules during the week.

The District Grand Prefect then opened the floor to questions, of which there were several, before inviting those present to join him for one of Mark Masons’ Hall’s excellent carveries. There then followed more conversations over a few post-dinner drinks in the bar!
