The idea for this years circular arose out of the impending move from the Provincial Masonic Hall, Rosemary Street, to Arthur Square. One of the most impressive decorative elements of our current hall is the John Luke Mural in the PGL room and despite the very impressive restoration work carried out on Arthur Square, for me, nothing can compare with the 'Building of the Temple' mural by John Luke in the Provincial Grand Lodge Room. It uniquely stands out as an extremely impressive and irreplaceable work of art.

I could of course have used a portion of the actually Mural for the December circular, but because of the mismatch in format, the circular being portrait format and the Mural being Landscape, I chose instead to produce my own artwork on a similar theme.
