Yesterday evening on the 13th of October, I had the pleasure of visiting our friends at Lodge Neptune No. 419.
​The Brethren were treated to an excellent exemplification of the Fellowcraft Degree, carried out by a visiting deputation from Lodge Langside No. 955. The ritual work was of a very high standard and well-received by the assembled Brethren.

​I had the honour of commenting on the degree on behalf of the visitors, taking the opportunity to exchange fraternal greetings on behalf of all the visiting Brethren, and from Lodge Govandale in particular.

​The evening concluded with a great Harmony, offering the usual good company and fellowship. Thanks to the Brethren of Lodge Neptune No. 419 for their hospitality and a thoroughly enjoyable night of Masonic work.

​Fraternally,
RWM

Last night, the 5th of October 2026, it was an honour to represent Lodge Govandale at Govan No. 437 on a visit to our friends at Lodge St Columba Govan No. 729. I was accompanied by the IPM and WSW and their support was gratefully welcomed.

​We were joined by a fine deputation from Lodge Corkerhill No. 1426, whose Degree Team delivered a first-class exemplification of the Fellowcraft Degree. The precision and standard of the ritual were exceptional, and a credit to everyone involved.

​I had the distinct privilege of replying on behalf of the visiting Brethren. It was fantastic to see such a strong turnout of reigning Masters supporting the evening, demonstrating the unity and fellowship amongst our Lodges.

​The night concluded with an excellent Harmony. Sincere thanks to the Brethren of Lodge St Columba Govan No. 729 for their generous hospitality and a truly memorable evening.

​Fraternally,
RWM

Our Worthy Secretary, Jim MacDonald Jnr. PM, is participating in a Charity Strictly Come Dancing event in aid of Calum's Cabin.
He has already commenced lessons with a professional dancer, who has the unenviable task of teaching him how to dance, and in his own words, "I move about the floor with the grace and agility of a hippopotamus."
Any donations, no matter how small, will go a long way to help Calum's Cabin support families with children battling cancer.

Yesterday evening of the 15th June, during our last regular meeting before recess, the Brethren of the Lodge were honoured to receive a deputation from Lodge St Columba Govan 729 who so ably conferred the Fellow Craft Degree upon our progressive candidate.

The work carried out was of the highest standard, delivered with precision, dignity, and true Masonic spirit, making the ceremony both memorable and instructive for the candidate and Brethren alike.

We extend our sincere thanks to all visiting Brethren who attended in support of the Lodge. The harmony and fellowship shared throughout the evening served as a fine example of Freemasonry at work.

The Lodge now enters its summer recess and will reconvene on the 17th August, when we look forward to welcoming our friends from Lodge Neptune 419 who will confer the Master Mason Degree upon our progressive candidate. This promises to be another excellent evening within the Craft, and one we eagerly anticipate.

Before then, however, the Brethren will pay a visit to Lodge St Columba Govan 729 on Monday 6th July, where we shall have the privilege of conferring the Mark Degree.

All qualified Brethren in good standing will be assured of a warm and cordial welcome at any of the meetings mentioned above.

Thank you once again for your continued support throughout the year. We wish all Brethren and their families an enjoyable and restful recess / summer.
