Avoiding being rude!

Corby?
good luck Aussies!

[DonaldCampbell]

Well done! And unfortunately not mrbenn

[MrBenn]

That really is not very good at all, my apologies that you have been left hanging

Did you make initial contact via the Province or was it direct to a lodge?

[DonaldCampbell]

I made contact via the province, I talked to the "Provincial Grand Assistant Secretary".

[MrBenn]

Sorry Donald - not the way things should be handled at all, if you drop me a personal message via the message system with your email address and number I will see if we can find out what happened and attempt to get someone to contact you.
That is if you are still interested and haven't been put off

[DonaldCampbell]

Thanks MrBenn, I've sent you a PM and no need to apologise at all

[MrBenn]

Donald, thanks for your patience

Investigations have led me to discover that there was a change in personnel in the Provincial G Sec office in question, these took place over the summer and you appear to have been unwittingly misplaced...

Please do make contact with the office again, I have also passed on your details but it would definitely be worth you contacting them again as with two nudges you are less likely to fall in a gap!

Again, apologies that this has happened to you, even with the best will in the world unfortunate errors in communication like this do happen

[DonaldCampbell]

Thanks MrBenn, I'll get in contact with the guy again soon, it's only been a month since our last email so I might leave it till next week?

[DonaldCampbell]

I live round the corner from the Masonic hall, is it worth popping round when it's open and seeing if anyone will have a chat?

[Richard George]

Definitely! - Depending on the hall, there may be someone there during the day, but it's more likely that you'll need to grab someone and make arrangements to get togther at a mutually convenient time and it's more likely that the hall will only be open when there's a meeting.

[MrBenn]

by all means try popping in, if nothing else you may be able to speak to someone at a lodge who would be willing to assist

[DonaldCampbell]

Update, I popped in and talked to a very friendly guy, he answered a few of my questions, recommended I come to a few social events at the centre and said he'd have a talk with some people about me. So things are looking up, although he did say it was unlikely to get in this season
