26 August 2006 |
The new session begins next week; below
you'll find out about the activities during the break. Contributed by the
Secretary Bro. R. Emery, PM.
|
| As we set out in our new session may we
strive to have Unity, which can only be achieved by Brotherly
Love, Relief and Truth. |
 |
| During the Break - News |
| This summer has been a quiet one for the
Lodge. At the end of April a party of 16 travelled to Edinburgh visiting
Grand Lodge, as well as Rosslyn Chapel. The party were treated to a guided
tour of Grand Lodge by the curator Bro. Cooper. The Grand Lodge museum has
a wonderful collection of Masonic artefacts, from all over the world, and
is well worth a visit. Rosslyn Chapel, although going through extensive
renovations, is a very moving place for anyone to experience. The art and
history far surpassed most expectations, and some of those who went intend
to revisit. |
|
| The Divine service in June was well attended
by members, family and friends. The PGM travelled from Inverness and was
a welcomed guest. Bro. Rev. Aubrey Bell conducted the service and the guest
speaker was Reverend McDowell who spoke of Love and Charity. Although not
a Mason, Reverend McDowell’s knowledge, wisdom and humility proved
noteworthy from the message he presented. |
|
| The work to the hallway and toilet area
is almost complete. I am sure that most of the brethren will be more than
satisfied with the design, and standard of the work carried out. Brother
Donnie Wood has spent almost every Saturday of the summer working in the
Lodge. His commitment to the Lodge and Freemasonry is a shining example
of what we are all about. |
|
| At our last regular meeting in April,
we had five brethren marked. We were able to assist Lodge McDonald of Sleat
by marking Brothers Neil Graham and Ryan McGuinness. Brother Andrew Ritchie
from Lodge St. Congan in Aberdeenshire was also marked. Congratulations
to them all. A warm welcome to Bro. Alan Parker who was affiliated into
the Lodge the same evening. His experience and knowledge in Freemasonry
will be appreciated.
|
|
| The Lodge website has received another
award, this time from La Fraternite Lodge No. 54 in Brussels, Belgium namely
the Masonic Award for Excellence. Brothers may see the award on the links
on the left; a visit to this Lodge's website is well worth the effort. May
thanks to our Belgian brothers for the award. |
|
| A visit by a Lodge from Finland is planned
for 15 September 2006, when an Exemplification of the Third Degree will
be demonstrated. |
