We held our Annual Installation Muster again at the premises of Moira Union Preceptory at London Road, Kilmarnock. James Dean was installed as the new Preceptor and VF Ray Parker demitted Office after two years as Preceptor. It was once more a very successful occaision according to the feedback from those who attended (See above). The event was well attended by fratres from within the District of Ayrshire and from the District Grand Priories of Strathclyde and Dumfries and Galloway. Sixty-five fratres were in attendance. A big thanks to all who attended and haste ye back. A heartfelt thanks also to the Venerable Preceptor of Moira Union, Venerable Frater Ian Murray for his help in setting up, on the Friday before the Muster and on the Saturday when we returned the temple to it's proper state. Thanks also to the Officers and Fratres of Moira Union for the use of the furniture and fittings, to the Social Club Committee for the use of the Hall, bar and Kitchen. As we have no muster in December, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the Venerable Preceptor, Officers and Fratres of Hurlford.
