INTIMATION; BRO. KENNETH W. MASON
" Our special meeting of 09 April 2018 was held to enable two very important pieces of business to be carried out.
My son, Martin Mason was accepted into Free Masonry. He received an excellent EA Degree, conferred by our very own Past Masters Deputation degree team, which was headed on this memorable occasion by our oldest attending Past Master Bro. Ian McIndoe.
The evening was further enhanced, when I had the great pleasure of presenting Bro. Thomas Orrick Reid PM, with the certificate of 'Distinguished Service Membership' to Free Masonry.
A fine deputation from PGL of Lanarkshire Middle Ward, were in attendance to witness the events, which was lead by Bro. Bill Perry RWPGM.
Our Charity fund raising, was augmented on the evening by raising the sum of £516.00, which was greatly assisted by the generous donation of the Buffet being supplied by Mrs Margaret Reid.
Lodge Past Masters presented a gallon bottle of whisky, to me. This will be utilised in future fund raising events throughout the year.
Both myself, and son Martin, will always remember this very special evening of our Masonic careers"
