VISIT FROM LODGE SEAFORTH

A delegation from Lodge Seaforth 854 travelled to Lodge Kyle on the 7th to work a DOUBLE Third Degree. The team did a marvellous job and the degree was enjoyed by all including the candidates who were subsequently congratulated on their achievement. RW Master Mackedddie and his team had obviously put a lot of hard work into rehearsing this degree and it showed in the floorwork and oration. Our sincere thanks and appreciation to the team who travelled from Fortrose and surrounding area for the occasion.

VISIT TO LODGE SEAFORTH - Monday 21st January.

Our delegation travelled to Fortrose and were made very welcome on arrival. The RW Master of Lodge Seaforth (Raymond Mackeddie) handed over the gavel to our RWM and we worked a Second Degree. After the ceremony we repaired to the extensive function halls adjoining the Lodge for a splendid Harmony. Callum and Raymond also chatted about the history of Lodge Seaforth and the cathedral in the village (built circa 1300) where a series of Mason Marks can be found. Around fifty of these were collected and drawn from the blocks around the base of the cathedral, a picture of which now hangs in the Lodge.

NEW WEBSITE:

The new website is expected to launch at the end of January, approvals permitting. Also ... Permission is being sought for the use of a copyrighted image of the Old Drill Hall in Kyle.

The photo below was taken in The Caledonian lodge No 16 in the city of Timaru on the South Island. The gentleman on the left is the WM of lodge Caledonian and the man on the right is another of the brethern, who all made us feel most welcome. When we were there we watched a second degree and then watched a ceremony of the exchanging of the gavels.
