Tuesday night at Lodge 720 Dalhousie, Bonnyrigg





A nice wee "special" today about the nights meeting at Lodge 720 Dalhousie, Bonnyrigg.

This being the last meeting of the season before the break, there was a good crowd to start with, however as Kenny (Bomber) Harris, I.P.M. of No 10 Dalkeith Kilwinning was getting Honorary membership the numbers increased by an extra twenty five as his Deputation arrived, which then had the Lodge up to near capacity. He was duly presented, etc., by Alex McBeth our R.W.M..

With one candidate to go through a Degree the office bearers carried out their duties in an impeccable manner apart from myself, who took "stage fright" on the floor - no idea why this always happens at 720, it is the only place which seems to trouble me. just a bit disappointing when all the others were spot on.

After the meeting , one of the visitors, James M Hindman, District Deputy Instructor 53, of the Grand Lodge of Michigan, and Past Master of The Birmingham Lodge No 44, Bloomfield Hills, MI, USA, presented a clock and some masonic pins to Alex McBeth, who in turn gave him a tie and some gifts from No. 720.
