PGL Renfrewshire East Installations

Brethren,

I’m very honoured to have been appointed as the next Provincial Grand Master of Renfrewshire East and I would like to thank the brethren of the Province, for the trust they’ve placed in me.

I’d like to take this early opportunity to share with you, the names of the brethren that have accepted my offer to be part of the next Commission.

DPGM Bro Chris Kerr PM, Lodge Renfrew County Kilwinning No 370 SPGM Bro Gavin Burt PM, Pollokshaws Royal Arch Lodge No 153 SPGM Bro Brian Shields PM, Lodge St John Busby No 458 SPGM Bro Scott Bogle PM, Lodge St Barchan No 156 PG Secretary Bro William McMahon PM, Lodge Kil Bryd No 1667 PG Chaplain Bro William Shirlaw PM, Lodge St Christopher No 1453 PG Chaplain Bro George Paul PM, Lodge Thistle and Crown No 1167 PG Chaplain Bro Ian Duncan PM, The St John’s Operative Lodge No 347

The Installation of myself and the Commissioned Office Bearers will take place on Saturday 19th February, 2022 in Lodge Prince of Wales No 426. Unfortunately, the numbers attending will be limited due to the size of the venue and the situation we find ourselves in with the pandemic.

At this point in time it’s not my intention to have a full sit down meal after the ceremony as things are going to be very unpredictable over the winter months. I’d prefer to concentrate on what I expect to be the highlight of the Commission, our 200th Anniversary in Feb 2026.

Hopefully, Paisley Town hall will be back in use, and we’ll be able to have a full scale event with everyone who wishes to attend, being able to do so.

I also look forward to visiting the Daughter Lodges in my role as Provincial Grand Master and I thank them in advance for their continued support of Provincial Grand Lodge.

Yours fraternally,

Bro Ronald E. Fraser

Provincial Grand Master Designate

70th Anniversary of HM The Queen

Last month the brethren of Thistle Lodge No.127 in Stewarton planted a tree to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the Coronation of HM The Queen. What a splendid idea and good to see our connection with the Royals continues at local level.
