Saturday 8th April 2000 will be recorded in the Lodge History as the first visit to the Island by our Lodge. The Right Worshipful Master, Bro. Andrew Martin led a Deputation of 56 Brethren from Lodge St. Bryde and our Sister Lodges to Lodge St. Molios No. 774, Lamlash.

The R.W.M. led a Team consisting of, Andrew Reidford, W.J.W., Andrew McAlpine, P.M., Sec., Jim Vasey, P.M., D.o.C. conferred the M.M. Degree on one Candidate. Bro. Pat Clarke, P.M. deputised as W.S.W. Everyone who witnessed the Degree work was most impressed. The word perfect ritual and the sincerity of the manner in which it was delivered was of the highest standard. In fact Bro. Andrew Perrie, R.W.M. No. 774 in his address went as far as to state that it was perhaps the finest M.M. Degree witnessed in Lodge St. Molios.

After the meeting the Brethren of Lodge St. Molios provided the company with an excellent buffet meal which was much appreciated by the visiting Brethren. An excellent Harmony followed before the visitors

returned to the Hotel at Blackwaterfoot.
