Congratulations to Bro Mark Urquhart who last night was Passed to the Second Degree in Lodge St George. Mark is a native of Aberdeenshire.
A great ceremony performed by the new team on their first night. Excellent general ceremonial work and top shelf charges done by all.
Congratulations also to Wor Bro Luke Elin who was obligated as an affiliate member and received his certificate from our AGDD, VW Bro David Melville.
VW Bro David also presented Wor Bro Jeff Dole with his Life Vice President Charity jewel he was unable to receive at our Installation in June.
Jeff aslo had transferred to him the Morton Jewel, one of our two remaining Founder's Jewels from 1915.
I was also delighted and very touched to receive a beautiful gift from both Lodges St George and Silver Cross to mark my installation as Grand Master. As I explained in my response, I am only able to enjoy a career in Grand Lodge through the support of my lodge Brethren and my enjoyment of their company and the lodge's culture and traditions. In short, I owe the lodge, the lodge doesn't owe me. The quaich will go on display in Ann St.
