On 3 October 2018 Lytham StAnnes Circle celebrated their 50th anniversary for the second time of trying. Originally formed in 1925 the Circle handed its Charter back in 1946 but 22 years later the Circle was re-formed. Sixty-nine Brothers attended the meeting with many coming from out of Province, the one travelling the furthest being from Epsom, Surrey. The photo below was taken immediately before the start of the meeting by the Vice President sitting at his table.
Afterwards 125 people sat down to the meal which was followed by the presentation of two 50-yr scrolls. Brother Geoff Stappard was there to receive his but due to his poor health Brother Stan Bickerstaffe was unable to be present. His scroll was received by his daughter Catherine and her husband Paul Martland.
