Our RWM Elec - Bro Alan Duncan Beck

In being elected Right Worshipful Master, Bro Beck followed in a long line of distinguished citizens who previously held this office. During his first term, Bro Beck led the lodge to continued growth, with a steady flow of new members and attendances at the Regular Meetings up by 56%. Its involvement in the community was further enhanced, with its significant charitable work raising in excess of £6000 for causes like Erskine Home, the Beacon Youth Theatre and local schools. The brethren of No XII also gave support to sister lodges in Scotland and beyond. The No XII Charity Burns Supper, held annually in Greenock Town Hall, has quickly grown to be the largest in Inverclyde.
