Brethren
We are now well into June and it just seems like yesterday
since I was installed as RWM
on 4/12/09. I hope you are all enjoying the summer break and
come back on the 2/9/10 to witness Lodge Oatlands No 1005 confer the MMD
on one of our FCs Lodge Oatlands has a special place in my heart and it will be
great to see them back in 1042 again.
As I said I hope you are all enjoying the break, but 2
Brethren deserve special thanks
Brother Ian Ritchie and Brother George C Cassidy WJW are
busy just now re-fitting our kitchen a big job that needs done I would like to
thank these 2 brethren personally for all their efforts
Congratulations are due to Brothers Ian Ritchie and James E
Orr (DOM) for taking there first steps in "Red Freemasonry"
There have been more highs than lows in the first half of my
year
1) Three young men have joined our Lodge and perhaps in time
they will bring in some candidates and maybe take an office (2 have still to

needs

back on the 9/5/10 after having travelled a " somewhat rough and rugged
road "

If I have missed anything out I apologies
All the above events were very enjoyable, but in some cases
the attendances were a wee bit disappointing, so please try and support the
Lodge and the social club whenever you can
The next big event is the Sportsman's dinner 22/10/10
I will sign off now and wish you all a great summer and I
look forward to seeing you all in September

Yours fraternally
