On 3 June the Worshipful Master and W Bro Walsom attended a special meeting of St John the Baptist Lodge (No. 39), along with a number of brethren from other Lodges.  Brethren from Craigends Lodge (No. 1042) from Glasgow had been invited to attend and demonstrate a first degree ceremony for which one of St John the Baptist’s brethren volunteered to take the place of the candidate.  Craigend’s ritual differs in a number of aspects from our own and was superbly performed.  The afternoon was both enjoyable and informative, with the festive board giving opportunity to socialise with our Scottish brethren.
