Installation at Lodge Glencoe No 884

9/12/2019

Comments

 
A very nice installation in our "other" Province, recently, at Lodge Glencoe, No.884, where Master Elect John Docherty was installed for his second year in office by PM John Kennedy of Lodge Lochiel No.1200. There was a very good turnout from within and without the province to see proceedings, with an Installing Board of 24 reigning or PMs!
Provincial Grand Lodge was represented by Depute PGM Bro. Kenneth Harvey, who made special comment of the dedicated efforts of various brethren to keep the Lodge going despite difficult times, and wished newly installed Master and office-bearers all the best for the coming year.
John was delighted to be supported by two of his brethren, who travelled from Lodge Carron No.139 to be there and joined the excellent harmony which followed. Thank you 884 for the very enjoyable meeting and hospitality.

Visit to Lodge No 335 by PGL and Br. Moises Gomez

9/12/2019

Lodge Dunoon Argyll No.335 recently raised the grand sum of £312 to donate to Prostate Scotland. Tuesday 26 Nov 2019 saw the PGL visitation, and what a splendid night it was. A tremendous degree, followed by a delightful and inspirational talk on some aspects of freemasonry by Br. Moises Gomez from the Grand Lodge of New Jersey, who is visiting the country fundraising for Prostate Scotland. He has been engaged on a series of talks relating to his experience as a first responder to the attacks on the Twin Towers, addressing full audiences at Grand Lodge and Glasgow City Halls, as well as visiting Argyll and Ayrshire.

The PGM enjoyed several days showing off some of the sights of mid Argyll to Br. Gomez and his wife, such as Kilmartin church, Dunadd, Inveraray Castle and Crinan. He expressed sincere thanks to Master of the Lodge, Glenn Christie for the donation of 312 and to Br. Gomez for his uplifting presentation and honouring our Province by his visit. Sincere gratitude also to all who attended and made PGL and Br. Gomez so welcome. This donation will be added to the fantastic sum of £550 000 already raised by Scottish freemasons on behalf of Prostate Scotland.

Donation to Martyn's Monday Club

9/12/2019

Lodge Loch Fyne recently made a fine donation of £240 to Martyn’s Monday Club, a charity mainly based in Oban, which provides peer-to-peer support groups, for both men and women over 18, to help them through life when struggling with mental health, feeling down, sad or lonely. They also aim to challenge the stigma of mental health and discrimination in a friendly, safe environment, where like-minded people can mix together, talk about pretty much anything over a wee a cuppa, a biscuit, or, cake, or two.

The sum was raised from a raffle following the recent, successful annual installation ceremony of the Master and Office-bearers of the Lodge. Newly installed Master Donald Crawford made Martyn’s Monday Club his choice of charity, before presenting a cheque to club representative, Robert Cruickshanks, who said he was very humbled by the kind gesture and sure the money will be put to good use. The charity also has a website and calendar for sale, for anyone wishing to know more, or contribute to their good work
