We had a very enjoyable and successful Installation ceremony at Stones Corner yesterday. Congratulations to our new Master Wor Bro Ray Hodson and his team. This year all progressive offices are filled by Master Masons. Congratulations also to RW Bro Cedric Holland (Installing Master), Wor Bro Clif Bothwell (Installing DC) and Installing Team for a job well done.
We had a great turn out of our own members and very good number of visitors.
The RW Deputy Grand Master, RW Bro Gary Bacon, and team of Grand Officers was in attendance. The RW Deputy Grand Master presented a Past Masters jewel to Wor Bro Peter Sinclair and Charity Jewels to Wor Bro Shawn Ket (Life Vice President) and Wor Bro Ray Hodson and Bro Baillie Hutchison (Life Governors).
A big thanks also to the Brethren from Tarragindi Lodge who worked extemely hard as our stewards. We'll return the favour in a couple of months. Also thanks to Wor Bro Trevor Campbell of Thistle Lodge who performed the Address to the Haggis for us.
HI Paul,
Thanks for the link. I watched the piping in, and address to, the haggis. It looked remarkably similar to what we do on Scottish Night. I hope to visit some day from across The Pond. Cheers, Rod.

That would be great Rod. Has Christophe taken his Third yet?

HI Paul,
Unfortunately we have been so busy with so many new Degrees that Christophe's 3rd got rescheduled and then he moved out to the country, so we will have to see when he can do it again.
Cheers,
Rod.

I didn't know he'd moved. I must email him. Whereabouts is 'the country'?
