Greetings to you all and I hope that this finds you and your families and friends in good health.  Spring is now upon us and the weather has, eventually, recognized that it is the time of year for sun, bird song and lighter evenings – at last!
Allied Masonry in London is going from strength to strength with all units securing candidates, some are doing very well indeed and this is excellent news.

We have had three full team visits so far, to Guild of Freeman, to Metropolitan A and to Londinium Matutinus, all were hugely enjoyable and it I was grateful for such good support from the District Officers.  I have also made other visits to Metropolitan A and Rumbelow, again excellent meetings and great fun.

My Deputy, Steve Warwick, has also been busy visiting, as have our two Wardens of the year, Derek Blumsom and Derek Burt.  My thanks to everyone for displaying such companionship, warm welcome and hospitality to us.
Elsewhere on the website can be found details of our visiting schedule and I remind everyone that they are welcome to join us on any occasion.  
I am considering an idea of hosting a lunch at the Guildhall at some time in the Autumn, this will be for London AMD masons and partners, it will be reasonably priced and will allow us to meet in a splendid setting for a relaxed occasion – let me know what you think and whether you would support such an event.
All best wishes to you all and I look forward to seeing you at your Councils before the summer is upon us.

Colin Woodcock
District Grand Prefect.
