Christmas Address by Right Worshipful Master

Brethren

You never cease to amaze me.

Sunday was one of those days when the Brethren of the Province have been seen at their very best.

On Sunday morning, several members of the Commission and I were engaged in sorting and distributing the produce donated by the Lodges of the Province. Yet again the Food Bags Initiative was very well supported and indeed donations were markedly up on last year.

In the evening our Annual Carol Service at Trinity Parish Church , Strathaven was once again well attended by brethren , families and friends and I would like to thank all who made the effort to be there and in particular our visitors from out-with the Province.

The many gifts so generously donated by all will make such a difference on Christmas Day to those children less fortunate than our own. CHAS has once again been the major focus of our fundraising efforts during 2025 but our Lodges and brethren have also continued to support numerous and various charities.

The 2026 Kiltwalk in support of CHAS will follow the same format as last year. The Kiltwalk has become a regular and well loved event in our Province’s calendar – not just for the financial benefit for CHAS but also for the Province just coming together on such a special day. I look forward to meeting you all again in 2026 whatever distance you are taking part in. Again early registration is recommended.

The Community Award for 2026 was awarded to New Opportunities Project , Motherwell an organisation which undoubtedly aligns with our commitment to making a difference in their local community Masonically the Province continues to meet the significant challenges that still exist for Freemasonry brethren , primarily through the resilience, commitment and ingenuity of our Lodges.

Please continue to engage with myself and my Commission on any matter that you are concerned about – Masonic or otherwiseAs we enter the final six months of this Commission could I simply thank you all for your friendship and unfailing support in everything our Province has strived to achieve over the previous four and a half years.

I know that there will be no let-up in your support Let us all continue to “make a difference” and let that be the guiding light in everything we do going forward as Freemasons

May I close by simply wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy , Prosperous and Peaceful 2026.
