Congratulations, well done and all the very best of luck Brethren.
The first time the Borders Quarrymen have worked a degree, in the awe inspiring surroundings of Lodge St. Ebbe, which dates back to 1758.
The Quarrymen are our Provinces group of younger and new Masons, with Provincial Grand Master AE Forsyth as enthusiastic President of the group, which formed this year.
Brother George Donnelly, Past Master of Lodge St. Ebbe an a Past Provincial Grand Master, was the candidate and I believe thoroughly enjoyed his evening! Several Borders Lodges were represented, including St. Ronan’s 856 through Stewart Wilson as Senior Deacon.
Hopefully the Quarrymen can continue to grow in strength to support our fraternity in the province, and encourage new members to get involved in the craft.
On 27 April 2023, a number of younger Lodge Members within the Province met at Lodge Kelso and Tweed with a view to creating and operating a "Young Masons Group" aimed at young and new members of the craft. Watch this space for further developments.
