One of the highlights of the Provincial Installation of Office Bearers on 6th February was the conferring of Honorary Memberships of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Renfrewshire West on a total of eight brethren on the evening. Our members Crawford Kirkpatrick and Eddie McGill were amongst them as were our No XII Honorary Members Jim Strachan and Kenny McCrae.
