On Monday 27 April 2026 RWM Bro. Kenneth R. Shaw led a deputation of 15 from our lodge to our lodge?!
We were there at the invitation of Lodge Stirling Royal Arch No. 76 who meet in our lodge building. Their RWM Bro. Ronnie Bateman asked us to conduct the Mark Master Mason degree. Their candidate was master mason Bro. John MacDonald. It was our first such degree in a year.
RWMM was Derek Irvine PM and while there was a little ‘rust’ on show, the degree work met with the approval and some laughter of the assembled brethren. At the conclusion RWM Bro. Kenneth R. Shaw thanked Bro. Michael J. Gray PM for stepping in as Junior Deacon at the last minute.
