Message from the Provincial Grand Master I should like to thank
the Brethren of this Province for recommending me to become 34th
Provincial Grand Master of Glasgow and Grand Lodge for appointing me to this
Office. I am very conscious of the responsibility of this Office and the honour
of leading this Province. Since I was initiated in Lodge St John Whiteinch No 683 in 1967, I have at all times been appreciative of the support given to me as Master in 1980-1981 and 1982-1983, as a Provincial Grand Steward, and as a Commissioned Office-Bearer. The Brethren of the Province have always been most courteous and kind. I ask for your support and your prayers in the next five years. On 28th November 2009, the Grand Master Mason will install the Commissioned Office-Bearers and myself in Partick Burgh Hall. I trust that all of the Lodges will be represented on this occasion and that it will be a memorable day for Provincial Grand Lodge. During the five years which lie ahead, we must continue to manage our financial affairs prudently. It is our intention in the next few months to move over substantially to the use of email for most of our communication with Lodges, Office-Bearers and Stewards etc. Your cooperation in assisting with this will have a significant impact on our expenditure. The Provincial Grand Lodge Offices at 54 Berkeley Street, which belong to all of us a Province, are essential to the administration of the Province and like any property require regular maintenance and improvement. The nominated charity, which we shall try to raise funds for is The Meningitis Trust. Information about the Trust and its work will be placed on our website and you may also find out more about it on its own website:- Meningitis Trust I intend asking the Finance/Property Committee to form a Fundraising Sub-Committee to bring forward ideas and initiatives for fundraising for the Province and for charity. If you feel that you have ideas to contribute, please contact Provincial Grand Secretary at Provincial Grand Lodge Office. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. The attendance at the Annual Divine Service on Sunday 1st November 2009 was very encouraging. Let us hope that we can continue to serve and support this Province which was constituted in 1739.
