Description
The Spain District of the Mark is pleased to announce the details of the Grand Assembly weekend, which will be held on Friday 31 January and Saturday 1 February 2025 at the Gran Bali Hotel in Benidorm, Spain.
After our previous successful assemblies, we will maintain a similar format for the weekend. To get the most out of the event, the District recommends that attendees check in at the Gran Bali Hotel around noon on Friday, January 31 and stay at least until the evening of Saturday, February 1, if possible. The hotel offers preferential rates for attendees, applicable regardless of the length of stay. Details are included in the booking confirmation and can also be found at the bottom of this page.
The weekend's activities will begin on Friday, January 31 at 4:30 p.m., with an illustrated and informative talk by V. H. Mike Neville entitled "Freemasons and the Evolution of Forensic Science." Mike, a retired New Scotland Yard chief inspector, has unparalleled experience in using footage, such as CCTV, to catch criminals. He founded the world's first Super Recognizer unit, revolutionizing the identification of criminals, and now helps Law Enforcement locate their own Super Recognizers.
Following V.H. Mike Neville, District Grand Master Rev. H. Barrie Roy Mansell will invite all Marca men and their families and friends attending the District weekend to a welcome cocktail and canapés. It will be an informal meeting and will be a great opportunity to catch up with old friends, as well as to make new ones.
On Saturday morning, February 1st, is the official meeting of the Grand Assembly of the District of the Marca de España. This will be held in the Crystal Auditorium of the Gran Bali Hotel. Brothers are asked to be seated for the meeting by 10:30 a.m. Tea, coffee and water will be available starting at 10:00 a.m. in the reserved dressing area prior to the meeting.
After the meeting, there will be a fraternal Agape at the Gran Bali Hotel, starting at 14:00. The brothers will enjoy a selection of Iberian ham and cured cheese tapas, scallops with ratatouille, yakitori chicken skewers with soy sauce, beef carpaccio with parmesan, Idiazábal cheese croquettes with boletus and salmon blinis with guacamole. This is followed by a lemon sorbet with cava, before a main course of beef tenderloin with sautéed asparagus and potato millefeuille au gratin, or a fish option, with sole stuffed with prawns. The meal will conclude with a dessert of three chocolates and coffee. Water, soft drinks, beer and red and white wines will also be included.
While the Brothers enjoy their gathering and Agape on Saturday, their partners and friends are invited to participate in a delicious excursion and subsequent meal. This event, which will begin by departing from the Gran Bali Hotel at 10:30 a.m. and returning in the afternoon, promises a wonderful day for everyone. It is a fantastic opportunity to explore and appreciate the hidden gems and unique facilities in the area near Benidorm, which are often overlooked by tourists.
