Bowling/Golfing:
Petitions:
Should you wish to propose or second any gentleman into freemasonry, please see the Brother Secretary for the relevant application Form.
Currently we have no outstanding petitions.
Almoners Summer Fete:
In Sympathy:During the recess the lodge lost Bro John Muirhead petition book No 380. John passed to the Grand Lodge above at the very fine age of 80.The Lodge was also saddened by the sudden passing of the RWPGM Bro Kenneth Lindsay on the 2nd of August.Ken was halfway through his term as RWPGM and campaigned to raise money for both CHAS and Prostate (Scotland).On the 5th of August the lodge was very shocked to hear of the passing of the RWM of Lodge Salfire No1505 Bro Bill Graham. Bill was a very funny and extremely likeable character who always put a smile on your face with his stories about the fire service. The Lodges sympathies go to all the families of the departed and also to the Brethren of Lodge Salfire at this time.
