Opening of the MacFarlane Virtual Highland Games

On 11 April, Easter Saturday, the First Grand Principal, joined as a visitor the virtual Masonic discussion meeting held under the Old Scotch Collegians Lodge No. 396 on the role of the United Grand Lodge of Victoria, Australia. The meeting was held for a discussion on aspects of the Office of Lord Lyon and a wide range of other topics within the field of Freemasonry. Some 40 brethren joined the  discussion ranging from 20 years old to 96 years. The Worshipful Master of the Lodge was in the chair. There were several distinguished guests including the Grand Master of Victoria, Most Worshipful Brother Keith Murray. He will be known to many of you as he is very much a Scotsman and still speaks with a strong Scottish accent. Another, excellent addition to the company was M E C Dale Hall, the present First Principal of RAC Land of Cakes.
