Lodge St Andrew No. 814 - and RWM Kenneth Jack

I to the hills, etc - made it to Pitlochry (just a tad early - so I had a fish tea - one of the million plus sold in the wee chippie) and then attended the Installation of Brother Kenneth Jack into the Chair as Right Worshipful Master of Lodge St. Andrew No. 814.

This is a small lodge, dating back to 1874 (ish) with an equally small membership ( in the same position as many other Scottish lodges) however the "Temple" was jam packed last night with around ninety members / visitors.

The installing master, Brother Ramsay McGhee, PM, a member of Grand Lodge was superb in his role, and was very ably assisted by PM Alan Duff; Andrew C Brown; David MacMaster and Ian Maclaren.

The Immediate past master (apologies for not having noted his name) has done a wonderful job in preventing the lodge from going dormant, and received yet another Bar to his past Masters jewel, having served eleven years as RWM - well done.

It was wonderful to see the Provincial Grand Master Bro. John S Brockie present along with a good delegation.
Kenny, have a wonderful year / or years, in the chair.
