Prov Grand Master takes a Caledonian Chair
On Friday, 23rd February, 2024 our Provincial Grand Master R.W. Bro. Eddy Garty was Installed into the Chair of Caledonian Craft Lodge No. 134 at Great Queen Street. Caledonian is a Lodge of Scottish origin that was founded in April 1763, some 261 years ago.
