Progress report by Lodge Secretary Kenneth Maclennan Monday 23rd Nov. 2020

• SMALL UPSTAIRS ANTEROOM made good progress with Dougie Thomson this afternoon.  All the wood from the small room has been removed. Also removed the carpet. On Friday this week 27th November Allan Baxter and I will remove the sink and then order the wood & fittings required for the refurbishment. I'll try and get in during the week to start tidying up the plaster work. Still discussing format of room, but coming to the conclusion that it will be used for storage of  Lodge Carron degree equipment, Royal Arch equipment, Lodge Carron books, Lodge Carron aprons. It will also have a new small sink and a window bench seat. Having the degree equipment in the small room makes sense as it is nearer the Temple door. This then leaves the larger anteroom free for whatever we think. The small room will be completed before any work on the larger anteroom takes place.  PHOTOS BELOW ON PROGRESS                        *********************************************************************************************Progress report by Lodge Secretary Kenneth Maclennan
