Presentation: Lodge Stivenstoune Thistle and Rose No.169 Bro. George Reid PM PSPGM

On Tuesday 26th of May 2026 Bro. James Bell RWPGM accompanied by a large Deputation of Provincial Grand Lodge of Ayrshire Office-bearers attended Lodge Stivenstoune Thistle and Rose No. 169 Where they received a very warm welcome by Bro. Norrie Brown RWM and the assembled Brethren.

Bro. James Bell RWPGM had the privilege of presenting Bro. George Reid PM PSPGM with his Jubilee certificate and warmly congratulated him for 50 years of loyal service to the craft and to his mother lodge.

Bro. James Bell RWPGM was then presented to Bro. Norrie Brown RWM who conferred Honorary Membership on him. The RWM warmly congratulated and thanked the RWPGM for his continued support of Lodge Stivenstoune Thistle and Rose No.169 and for his sterling efforts and continued hard work that he has done through the Province and beyond in his tenure as RWPGM which was warmly received by the assembled Brethren.

The RWPGM suitably replied thanking the RWM and Brethren for bestowing him the great honour of Honorary Membership.

The evening was further enhanced with a fantastically well worked FC degree by Bro. Mark Davenport RWM and office-bearers of Lodge Dalry Blair No. 290 on Bro. Robbie McKee.

A fine hour was spent in harmony that followed.
