Saturday a.m., tired and out of sorts, but headed off to Bonnyrigg for a meeting of the Soutra Isle Conclave of the order of The Secret Monitors, where we were working a 2nd Degree.Very good attendance with a Provincial Deputation present, but also a surprise visit by Michael Stuart Shearer, the Supreme Ruler of the Province of New South Wales, Australia, who was accompanied by his Deputy Don Savage. They were over in the UK for the Installation of the new Supreme Ruler of the Order which took place in Birmingham.
Our own Supreme Ruler was delighted with the day, bearing in mind that he will be handing over the Chapter to me in March 2010 !!!Our Provincial Supreme Ruler, John Lawrence Ward Reid was in his usual excellent form and gave our "upside down" visitors a rendition of an Aussie folk song - which unfortunately they did not know the words of !!
A good day, and good meal which was completely demolished by the brethren - thanks to Janet Moonie for her efforts.
