Bridge of Allan Highland Games

Date: Sunday the 4th August 2019

Had a very good day with several Brethren from the daughter Lodges of Stirlingshire and further afield. Brother Ricky McConnell had the foresight to book a stall at the games and his enthusiasm was evident on the day. He organised the Widow's sons to attend with their beautiful motor cycles and the stall was ready at 10:00am. Brother Ricky also had  several collecting tins for Strathcarron Hospice which the Brethren attending did their best to fill. We had many enquiries in the morning sessions with a number of visitors from English Lodges and further afield. Many people noted the charities we donate to as Brother Ricky had many A4 size letters from various charities thanking Lodge Abercromby No.531 for the sums donated. The stall also had the Grand Lodge of Scotland leaflet "An introduction to freemasonry" and a few of these were handed out during my time at the stall.  So we might see some application forms because of this venture. We also had a few Brethren who had not attended their Lodge and were assured of a warm welcome if they decide to comeback among us. I was there from 10am to 1pm and the weather held dry for that time. On leaving I thanked Brother Ricky for his work in bringing our craft into the public gaze. The stall was a positive statement that freemasonry is alive and well.

Prior to Wednesday 24th January 2018 at our Fellowcraft Degree, Substitute Master Brother Stuart Stirling PM very graciously and kindly personally donated and presented the Lodge Carron 139 colours in the form of a Lodge Standard Banner our first ever Banner. PM Stirling stated that it was his wish, due to his long association, respect and strong bond of affection to his Mother Lodge to make such a wonderful gesture. PM Stirling also spoke articulately and powerfully of his wish that Lodge Carron 139 can now proudly carry and display these colours during official processions but more particularly when we accompany local groups when attending the annual Remembrance Parades and Church Services. As can be seen the banner is striking and a magnificent addition to the Lodge Carron 139 history and Lodge furniture and will take pride of place at each meeting. On behalf of everyone associated with Lodge Carron 139 we offer our sincerest gratitude to PM Stirling for such an honourable and magnanimous gesture. RWM Brother Tam Meikle.
