Dear Sir & Brother,
Following the recent announcement at the Lodge of Benevolence, I am pleased to share that the Most Worshipful Pro Grand Master has approved my appointment of an additional Assistant Provincial Grand Master to spearhead the Membership Challenge.
It’s my delight to inform you that W.Bro. R. Michael Coombes, PJGD, will be appointed as Assistant Provincial Grand Master at the Annual Meeting on 29 June. He will maintain his role as Deputy Grand Superintendent until the new year. His extensive Masonic knowledge and team leadership experience, notably as the Secretary of the 2021 Festival, are invaluable.
This appointment further embodies the concept of “One Organisation” and a truly Joint Executive. We all extend our warm congratulations to Michael on his appointment and pledge our support in his endeavour to address the Membership Challenge.
Yours sincerely and fraternally,
D. Gerald Rowbottom
Provincial Grand Master for and Grand Superintendent in and over South Wales
