The sad loss in April 2020 of W.Bro. Mike Baker P.A.G.D.C. deprived Freemasonry of one of its most creative, talented and hardworking advocates. Having served as UGLE's Director of Communications, at the time of his death Mike was supporting Mark Masons ' Hall as a communications consultant. He was a member of the Mark Province of Kent.

With kind permission of Mike's wife, Tina, the Mark Province of Kent has inaugurated a lectureship in Mike's memory and the Provincial Grand Master, R.W.Bro. Archie Torrance, has appointed V.W.Bro. Tony Harvey P.G.J.O. to deliver the inaugural lecture.

Tony chose a subject that he and Mike worked on together when Mike was at UGLE, membership growth, but with a focus on Mark Masonry. The lecture is titled, "How to grow the membership of your Mark Lodge."

Tony has since joined Mike's Mark Lodge in Kent, Greenwich Lodge of Mark Master Masons No. 332.
