SERVICEMAN’s (VC) 3rd/MM DEGREE

Brn,
Lodge Pitgaveny No 681 shall be Working a 3rd/MM Degree on Sat 12NOV22 @ 1400 Hrs (9 James St, Lossiemouth); where Brn taking part will have Served in HM Armed Forces, or Protected Employments - with yours truly (ex-Army) being propelled back into the Chair for that Special Meeting.
Given that Bro John Cranshaw Raynes VC was a member of your Lodge it would be an honour if a representative of your fine Lodge could be in attendance on that day.
If somebody is able to attend could they please let myself know.
If they wish to take an active part and deliver Ritual even better, again just let myself know and I will try and accommodate them.
Our RWM (Bro Keith Beaumont ex-Royal Navy), Secretary (Bro Steve Brayshaw ex-Met Police) and myself look forward to welcoming you into our Lodge.
Yours Fraternally

Fraternal Greetings Brethren, I was invited to view you page by Brother Pete Laird. You have a very beautiful old Lodge. I love the architect of the building.
We wish you, all the Officers and Brethren a very successful year and many more years to come. From your Brethren from Ohio, The United States of America.
May we always meet on the level!

Greetings from Castle Lodge 122, Eagle, Colorado. My wife and I will be visiting Edinbugh on April 27-29. I would greatly enjoy visiting with any available Bretheren and would be proud to buy the first pint. Golfing is also surely to be on the schedule. Unfortunately our visit does not seem to align with and stated communications so some fellowship will have to do. I hope to hear back from a Brother.

A much better site, cleaner and easier to navigate. It shows a better view of the history of our deeply rooted and historic lodge.
