2 Provincial AGM The Provincial Annual General Meeting will once again be held at the Guildhall, Southampton, on Wednesday 5 th July 2017 at 2:00 pm. This year will be a very special occasion as we celebrate our Tercentenary and this will be marked by the presentation of the Tercentenary Travelling Banner to the Province of Wiltshire. In addition, we will see the appointment, by the Provincial Grand Master, of two new Assistant Provincial Grand Masters, namely W Bros David Foot and Leon Whitfield. The Guildhall is likely to be full to capacity at this event so you are advised to arrive in good time. Due to the popularity of this event, dining at the Novotel is currently sold out but you can register on the waiting list at squareevents.org; or perhaps you could arrange to dine at one of the many restaurants close to the Guildhall. I look forward to seeing you there. Frank Milner PAGDC Provincial Grand Secretary
