At our meeting on Thursday 28th December our New R.W.M. Bro. Neil Daniel welcomed a surprisingly strong attendance, given the time of year, to a business meeting. The meetings agenda covered various subjects including the forthcoming Burns Supper at the Red House Hotel on Saturday 20th January. Ticket sales are going extremely well with 120 spoken for already. The optimum attendance will be between 140 and 160 so we are very optimistic that we should confirm the additional ticket sales in the 4 weeks remaining. The Ross Shire village of Portmahomack was revealed as the venue for this years spring outing over the weekend of May 11th / 13th. As there may be a restriction on numbers in the main hotel selected as the base for the weekend, early commitment is thought best to avoid disappointment, more details on this event will be posted in due course. PM Bro. Mackay reminded brethren that there was still a quantity of Cruden Bay Post Cards still available for sale in aid of lodge funds, if anyone would like more information on the postcards, or would like to purchase a set or two, contact Bro. Mackay you can also get a wee bit more detail by clicking here.
