2009-2010

Now that all the installations are past I would like to thank all the chapters for the courtesy and kindness afforded to the Provincial deputation both at the installation convocation and at the harmony afterwards. I would like to congratulate the chapters on the work put in at the installations.

We have seven new First Principals in the province this year which is pleasing and I wish them well during the year. I would also congratulate all Principals and office bearers of chapters and councils and hope they have an enjoyable year in office.

It has been pleasing to welcome into the province the Third Grand Principal MEC George Alexander who visited Chryston RAC on their Installation. This is part of the initiative from the First Grand Principal for Supreme Grand Chapter to visit daughter chapters within Scotland. We were also honoured to have the First Grand Principal at Hamilton RAC installation where he presented MEC George Simpson and MEC Alex McKean with distinguished member’s diplomas.                                        

The Grand Superintendent’s Dinner was again a great success and I would thank all the people who contributed to make it so.

Now that the Provincial Installation is past I would like to congratulate all the office bearers. In particular to those who are taking office for the first time. I also thank our Provincial Grand Scribe N for his work at the installation of office bearers. I am looking forward to working with you all during the coming year.

The calendars will soon be out with the teams and dates for the visits and there also a copy of the teams on this website. Could I encourage you all to support your visiting teams as this is the face of Provincial that most chapters and councils see.

In closing I would like to wish you and your families a very happy Christmas and an enjoyable New Year and hope to see you all in the near future.
