Presentations at 176

THREE members of Lodge St. Andrew No. 176 (Denny & Loanhead) have received long service awards.

Past Master James Couper and Bro. James Adams were each presented with Certificates and medals marking their 60 years in the Craft.

They both joined the lodge on 13th December 1962 and went through their next two ceremonies together. Ten years ago they attended together to each receive Jubilee Certificates from The Grand Lodge of Scotland and have now received Diamond Certificates.

Bro. Couper, who ran a successful foundry business, was installed as Master of the Lodge in 1975 and lives in Stoneywood. 

Bro. Adams had a successful police career in the Manchester area where he still lives and was Master of The Duke of Athol Lodge No. 210 in Denton.

Bro. Joe Toner, the current Almoner of 176, received a Jubilee certificate to mark his 50 years as a mason and was also presented with a jewel from the lodge.

RWM Bro. James Wilson made the presentations. He also presented a Distinguished Service certificate on behalf of the Lodge to Treasurer Bro. Martin McMenemy for his devoted service particularly during the pandemic.
