This was followed by a meeting on September 29.
Upcoming meetings will be held in Grand Lodge on Thur October 21 and Mon November 29, with further meetings to be held in January and a conferral of the Order in March.
4 Awards have been given out. Gold Awards were presented to the widow of Bro. Rene van Geuns following his recent demise, and to Bor.
