The 137th regular meeting of the Three Shires was held at Westholme Lodge on Wednesday, 18th February 2026. The 3rd item of business was to welcome W.Bro. Wesley Marchant, P.S.G.D., A.P.G.M., accompanied by an Area delegation. The main business of the day was to proclaim W.Bro. Leslie S. Morgan, P.P.S.G.W., as Worshipful Master and to appoint and invest the Officers of the year.

At the festive board, the APGM expressed how much he enjoyed visiting Three Shires and thanked the lodge for its £300 donation to the Festival. He also noted that his last visit to Three Shires was in October 2025, when he presented the Maul to the WM, WBro Les Morgan, in celebration of the lodge gaining Grand Patron status for the 2026 Festival. The APGM added that he was very pleased to see the Gavel now being used in Lodge meetings, as it actively demonstrated the support the lodge had given to the Festival.
