Cathedral L&C No 67
On Friday 22nd September 2017 I attended my Lodge & Council Cathedral No.67 Unfortunatly we did not have enough members to Open, so we had a committee meeting and it was pointed out that we are the second oldest Lodge and Council in Scotland. As we actually consist of members from 3 different Lodge & councils Cathedral No.67 , Caledonian of Unity No. 73 and Plantation no 259. We have decided to contact all chapters in Glasgow to try to get the members back to meetings. This will be an uphill struggle there will be many reasons why these members do not attend from being old to clash of meeting night. The AGM will have to take place before the installation in October
