We had a very enjoyable meeting, followed by an excellent installed master degree, ably performed by W Bro Tarr who installed his successor with skill. The festive board was very well attended with an excellent meal, good wine, and port. The brethren were in good spirits and relaxed. The speeches and toasts were delivered in an informed and professional manner, with a mix of humour and sincerity. The brethren were entertained in song and music by W Bro’s David Beggs & William Cardwell on the pipes and in guitar and song by W bro Rennie McGrath and Bro Paul Francey, and was enjoyed by all.

Installation 2013
On Saturday 26th January 2013, our new W. Master was installed.
Attending the Installation was the R.W. Provincial Assistant Grand Master, R.W. Bro. Ken Porter. Coincidently, he was our W. Master’s headmaster at his primary school.
Visitors from many Lodges and other Masonic constitutions enjoyed the Installation meeting, and Festive board afterwards. Our two pipers W. Bros. William Cardwell, and David Beggs escorted the new WM into dinner, and gave us an excellent performance as usual.
The “Masters Song” was sung by our good friend W. Bro. Rennie McGrath, who also entertained us with local songs. An excellent dinner ensured a good time was had by all!
