Presentations were held throughout the afternoon at the Masonic Centre in St Martin’s, which is home to nine of the ten lodges across Guernsey and Alderney.

Islanders were invited to look around the different lodges, meeting rooms and other facilities.

Deputy provincial grandmaster Keith Read said it was important to clarify what the freemasons do and debunk some common misconceptions.
