This was the occasion of the Annual Election and Installation of Elected Office-Bearers of Provincial Grand Lodge and the duly elected Brethren were Installed into their various offices by the Provincial Grand Master in a very efficient yet friendly manner. The Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master then went on to welcome the members of Provincial Grand Stewards and Committee wishing everyone a very happy term in office.
The newly Past Senior Provincial Grand Warden Bro. Sandy Mackie was then presented to the Provincial Grand Master who invested him with his neck collar and jewel of a Past Senior Provincial Grand Warden thanking him for his commitment to Provincial Grand Lodge over many years. Past Senior Provincial Grand Warden Bro. Sandy Mackie then gave a very fitting reply.
Four Brethren within the Province had been awarded Honorary Grand Rank by the Grand Master Mason and were presented to Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master Bro. Rev Andrew Paterson who invested them with their neck collars and jewels and presented them with diplomas from the Grand Lodge of Scotland. Each of the Brethren presented gave a suitable reply.
