Lodge Kirkliston Maitland 482
Bro. Stuart F. Donald R.W.M.
Due to the dramatic rise of Covid-19 cases across the country we've reluctantly decided to cancel our meetings on Wednesday 19th January, Wednesday 2nd February, and our Installation meeting on Saturday 5th February.
This is of course extremely disappointing, but with the Omicron variant being so highly transmittable, we want to do all we can to protect our members and visitors.
With regard to our Annual Installation though, we hope to arrange a scaled-down ceremony at one of our regular meetings in the Spring and we'll announce this as soon as possible.
And finally, please remember, you can view the most recent weekly update from the Grand Master Mason HERE.
