Brethren June has been a whirlwind month for myself and the Commission. Can I first thank you all for your support at the Installation Ceremony at Hamilton Racecourse.
The weather was kind to us, and I hope you had an enjoyable afternoon.
Our guests from Grand Lodge and the Sister Provinces have been generous with their praise for the location, our organisation and how it all ran to schedule. This was due in no small part to the 2 Provincial Secretaries, the Ticket Master and those who assisted as Stewards, and the Staff at the Racecourse my thanks to everyone.
The Commission and I are now looking forward to working with you all in the years that lie ahead. We will be holding a series of meetings and will be able to give you details of our plans at the Regular Communication of PGL on the 2nd October in St. Mary Coltness No. 31. For now, I hope you are enjoying the recess and the beautiful weather, and that you will all return rested and refreshed for the 2nd half of the year.
Many thanks for you support and good wishes. Please find link my nominated charity for the next year
