It's been a while!!

Didn't realise it was so long since my last post, so there are a few important things to catch up on.

A very important event took place at our last meeting when we initiated Donald Small into Freemasonry.

Bro. Donald  is the first candidate we've had since I became R.W.M., but it's also very significant as he will be remembered as our  first candidate since moving back to the village earlier this year.

As we have more applications 'in the pipeline', we're very hopeful that Donald will be the first of many new candidates for the Lodge.

There certainly was a special buzz in the air on the night and Donald wasn't the only one who was nervous!!

Bro. Donald will be passed to the Fellowcraft Degree at our next meeting on December 19th and raised at our first meeting in January, Wednesday 16th.

Alongside new members, we also hope to encourage members who haven't attended for a while back into the Lodge.

On the same night as Bro. Donald's initiation, we also held the nomination and election of Office Bearers for 2013/2014 at which time Bro. Les Duff P.M. became Master Elect.

We can now look forward to our Installation Ceremony on February 2nd when Bro. Les and his team of Office Bearers will be installed.

We were also delighted to welcome Bro. Craig Gordon as an Honorary Member at our meeting on November 7th. Since then, Bro. Craig has completed a remarkable three year term as R.W.M. of Lodge Dalhousie Bonnyrigg 720 and congratulations again to Bro. Craig on this achievement.

This being December, we are again in the middle of 'Installation Season' and the last event of the year take place this Saturday with the Annual Installation at Lodge Rosslyn St. Clair - but it all starts up again in January!!

Of course, on a very personal note, I have just three more meetings as R.W.M. and my greetin' meetin' will be a special meeting on January 30th.

As this is a five week month, we've invited deputations from Lodge St. John Fisherrow 112 and The Thistle Lodge West Calder 270 who normally meet the same night as us and it will be really good to catch up.
