The Installation of Lodge Renfrew County Kilwinning No 370

This large deputation from No XII, led by RWM Bro Allan T Glen, and supported by his two Wardens, attended the Annual Installation at 370 on Thursday 2^nd December.  Also in the Deputation was Bro Tony Stewart, RWM of The Prince’s Lodge No 607 and Honorary Member of No XII.  Our Depute Master, Bro James P Livingstone was also in attendance, but in his role as RWPGM. Bro Tony was out at the car and missed the photo shoot. Bro Jim was probably involved in Provincial matters! 

The links between No XII and 370 go back into the mists of time.  Through our Minutes, I have managed to locate deputations inter-visiting as early as 1906.  Sad to say, this relationship between the Lodges had fallen into abeyance for some years  in the early part of this century until the sterling efforts of Past Masters Bro Alan D Beck and Bro Allan I MacFeate began the resurgence.  Since 2013, the Lodges have visited one another several times and conferred degrees.  We were so delighted to see a large number of Brethren from 370 at the No XII Installation last month and were pleased to reciprocate on Thursday.
It was also very pleasant to see RWM Bro Nicky Stetz and IPM Bro Andrew Pigott of Lodge Firth of Clyde Gourock No 626 there too.
