A
85 YEARS HISTORY OF LODGE KELVIN PARTICK
After the 1914 - 1918 War, Freemasonry
in Scotland was flourishing consequently the existing Lodges could
not cope with the number of applicants wishing to join the Craft.
In the year 1920 no less than 35 new lodges were Consecrated, with
charters being granted by the Grand Lodge of Scotland, with 30 Lodges
at home, (9 in Glasgow) and 5 overseas.
It is a significant fact that Lodge Kelvin Partick, was the first
to be granted a charter on the 5th February 1920. The seeds for
this were sown on the 30th April 1919, when Partick St Mary's Lodge
(No. 117) held a meeting where 54 E.A.'s were passed to the Fellow
Craft Degree. A number of brethren attending that meeting decided
that another Lodge in Partick was necessary. Now 86 years later
we pay tribute to those far-seeing brethren who worked so enthusiastically
and diligently to form our Lodge.
The Consecration. Election and
Installation of Office-bearers took place on Tuesday 23 March 1920
in the Partick Burgh ( Large) Hall , The ceremony was carried out
by Bro. Alexander Archibald Hagart Spiers of Elderslie. D.L. J.P.,
Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master of Glasgow assisted by
Provincial Grand Lodge Office-bearers. Thus was born ''Lodge
Kelvin Partick No 1207". on the roll of the Grand Lodge
Scotland. Our two sponsor Lodges are Partick St Mary's Lodge (No
117) and Lodge St John Whiteinch (No 683)
The Lodge had 61 Founder members represented 27 different Lodges,
with 9 of these brethren eventually occupying the chair of the Lodge.
The Charter Master was Bro. Robert Watson M.M. Lodge St John Operative
Rutherglen (No 347) and Partick St Mary's Lodge (No 117). Bro. Alex
Young W.S.W., Bro James Stewart W.J.W., and Bro. William Lauderdale
P.M. (No 117) Secretary. Of the 61 F.M.'s. only 2 were Past Masters.
Bro. Wm. Lauderdale and Bro. Peter M. Duff (elected as organist).
26 of the Founder Members were from Partick St Mary's Lodge (No
117)
The brethren worked very hard, often doing 2 degrees on the one
night. From the Consecration in March until the A.G.M. in November.
13 Regular and 11 Special meetings were held with 89 candidates
initiated. The following year 22 Regular and 11 Special meetings
were held and the number of entrants 101. The average attendance
for the first 9 months was 9l and for the first full year 1920-21
averaged 100.
It was the ambition of the founder members to have a home of their
own and a Building Fund was started with plans made to buy a house
in Hamilton Crescent (now Fortrose St). Unfortunately Bro. Robert
Watson who was the driving force behind this venture, passed away
and the idea was shelved. This was followed by the depression which
affected everyone, but the loyalty, zeal and enthusiasm of old and
new members kept the Lodge going at a time when it might have ceased
to exist.
Our first Initiate Master was Bro. James Gibb
who joined the Lodge on the 8th of March 1921 and became Master
in 1930 / 1931. His reputation as a ceremonial worker was settled
to none and well known throughout the Province. Also initiated at
the same time were Bro. Jas McIIree and Bro. John Young Cuthbert.
both eventually being Installed into chairs of their adopted Lodge's
in Australia and Canada respectfully. Bro. William Lauderdale P.M.
who was our first Secretary carried out his duties for l9 years.
setting a high standard for those who followed him. Bro. Charley
Kettles P.M. served 6 years, Bro. Thos S Cameron P.M. 23 years,
Bro, Stuart W Kenndedy P.M. 7 years. Bro. George Marshall P.M. 5
years. Bro. Duncan MacKenzie P.M. 11 years, and now Bro. Gavin Lawson
P.M. 4 years.
Another brother who left his mark was Bro. George Rankine was Benevolent
Fund Treasurer. It was his ambition to have £1000 in the Benevolent
Fund, this was achieved by the time he demitted office in 1940.
1939 came the Second World War and once
again the loyalty of the members kept things going through trying
times. The meetings carried on even during air raids, and were never
cancelled. The brethren's faith in a new future paid off, when after
the War there was once again a demand for membership of the Lodge.
In 1942 there was 40 Initiates. 1943-(69),
1945-(63), 1946-(62), then it started to level off to about 30 per
year. This was held for about 16 years until l962 when numbers started
to drop.
The 25th Anniversary of the lodge was
celebrated in l945 and by a happy co-incidence Bro. Malcolm McPhail
Watson, the son of the Charter Master Bro. Robert Watson, occupied
the chair. During that year the average attendance shot up from
102 to l93. At the Installation of Office-Bearers Bro. William S.M
. MacDougall S.S. presented to the Lodge, a Volume of the Sacred
Law from himself and his brother, in memory of their father Bro.
John MacDougall had been in office for many years (he reached Senior
Deacon before his death)
1946 an association started with Lodge
Troon Navigation (No 86) still which exists. In
1952 the first meeting of what was to become known as ''The
Water Lodges'' took place in Troon. The Lodges involved were:- Lodge
Troon Navigation No 86, Lodge Clyde No 408. Lodge Neptune No 419
and Lodge Kelvin Partick No 1207. The title because of their association
with sea or rivers. Each Lodge taking it in turn to act as host
to the other 3 Lodges.
In February 1947 we paid tribute those
brethren who had served in H.M. Forces during the War by inviting
them to a inviting then to a Welcome Home Social, which was held
in the Large Partick Burgh Hall, approximately 300 brethren and
guests attended (Bro. John Gibson was (Master). This event set the
pattern for out 'At Home' which we held for a few years.
The activities of our members were not confined to our Lodge. Many
of the brethren playing an important part in the formation of various
Lodges in the Province. They occupied chairs of Lodges at home and
overseas, among these being Lodge Knightswood (No l445), with Lodge
Kelvin Partick as one of the sponsor Lodges. At Lodge Sir William
Wallace (No 1504), Bro. William C Cook P.M. was their Charter Master.
The record of our members is something we should be proud of today's
always remembering that the foundation was laid. In Lodge Kelvin
Partick.
1956 saw the formation
of the Western District Lodges and the first Joint Meeting
of the then 6 Lodges in our area, when the six Reigning Masters
made Masonic History by conferring the Master Mason Degree. Lodge
Thistle & Rose (No73), Partick St Mary's Lodge (No 117), Lodge St
John Whiteinch (No 683), Lodge Kelvin Partick (No 1207), Lodge Western
(No 1346) and Lodge Knightswood ( No 1445). The Degree was carried
out under our R.W.M. Bro. George Marshall in the Large Burgh Hall,
with the Provincial Grand Master Bro. Dr. A. Anderson McMillan and
a deputation from Provincial being present.
On the 26 May of that year we had our first ever Joint Social event
with a cruise to Rothesay and the Kyles of Bute. When the paddle
steamer ''Jeannie Deans'' was chartered. We left Bridge Wharf at
9.30 am with over 900 brethren and friends on board, arriving at
Rothesay about 12.l5 pm for lunch and then either sports for the
children or a cruise around the Kyles. After leaving Rothesay at
5.30pm we had tea on board and music all the way home a memorable
day for all who attended.
1957 was the start of a new era for the
Lodge, with the exemplification and conferring of Degrees by brethren
from overseas:- America and
Belgium and the visitation of brethren from
1207 to Canada, New Jersey, Virginia. Pennsylvania, Bahamas, Ireland
and Belgium. That year two groups of brethren from New Jersey U.S.A.
visited Scotland, Lodge Kelvin Partick played host to the Masonic
Kilties of New Jersey and the Scottish Compass Club ''Tuxudo Team''.
At each meeting we had an attendance of 590 brethren in the Large
Burgh Hall, both teams received a tremendous reception.
In 1958 Bro. George Marshall P.M. and
Bro. Robert P. Waddell (Bible Bearer) were members of the first
ever Masonic Deputation to visit America
and Canada, with the Glasgow
Compass Travel Association when they visited Niagara Falls, Toronto,
Montreal, Philadelphia, Virginia and Washington DC. In all six M.M.
Degrees were exemplified by a team from Lodge Glasgow at Glasgow
(No 441).
1960 was our 40th Anniversary
when we had a presentation Dinner for Bro. James Gibb P.M. (Senior
Chaplain) and Bro. Thos. S. Cameron P.M. (Secretary). in recognition
of 25 continuous years of service to the Lodge. Bro. Ernest Noakes
Provincial Grand Master made the presentations.
During July 1962 Bro. George Marshall
P.M. headed a deputation to
Paterson New Jersey U.S.A. where under the auspices of Lodge Kelvin
Partick a team exemplified the Master Mason Degree in Lodge Clifton
(No 203) F&AM. Seven hundred American brethren witnessed the Degree
in which members of the Lodge played leading parts. Bro. James Gibb
P.M . then 78 years of age received a spontaneous ovation for his
work.
In September 1963 Bro. George F.W. Waddell
R.W.M . headed a deputation to Colraine in Northern Ireland when
the M.M. Degree was exemplified in the Albert Edward Lodge, the
team all being Senior Office-bearers of Lodge Lodge Kelvin Partick.
During August 1964 we had a visit from
the Virginian Craftsman from Highland Springs Virginia U.S.A., when
a dramatised Third Degree was exemplified.
In 1965 Bro. Robert P. Waddell
who was Master of the Lodge 1964-65 was once again in a deputation
to America and took part in the ceremonial work in Norfolk Lodge
(No l) and Babcock Lodge (No 322) Virginia.
Bro. George Marshall P.M. was Installed R.W.M.
for the second time in December 1969, this was the start
of our Jubilee year l970.
The 50th Anniversary Celebrations took
place on Tuesday 24 March in the Partick Burgh (Mid Hall). New Regalia
was dedicated by Bro. Rev. David Barr. B.D. Moderator of the Presbytery
of Glasgow. 50 years diplomas were presented to Bro. Alexander Young
P.M . and Bro. David Donaldson. Bro. Young who was the first Senior
Warden took over as W.S.W. to assist the Master in closing the Lodge
as he done 50 years previously. At the Anniversary Dinner which
followed the usual loyal toasts were ably given and suitably replied
to. Another happy evening was brought to a close by singing together
'Auld Lang Syne'.
On Sunday 5 April, a Divine Service was held in St Mary's Church.
Peel Street when Bro. Rev. John M. Stewart Provincial Grand Chaplain
conducted the service. The Choir from Lodge Buchan St John Broxburn
came through to Glasgow and delighted all present with their singing.
As part of our Jubilee Celebrations. 30 odd Senior Members. their
wives and widows were given a weeks holiday in Blackpool which was
arranged by Bro.Weir of Weirs Tours. We also had one of the largest
deputation's in the Lodge for sometime, when the Edinburgh City
Police Masonic team accompanied by members of the Glasgow Police
team visited the Lodge and conferred the Master Mason Degree, followed
by an excellent harmony.
During the 80's because of falling attendances,
and the conditions imposed upon us by the, Halls Department. a decision
was taken to revive our Building Fund, and again look at a home
of our own. This fund was increased by several thousand pounds due
to the efforts of our enthusiastic brethren. Over the following
years offers were put in for various premises, but were out-bided
by commercial developers, no doubt the brethren will continue to
try and achieve this ambition.
At the Installation in December 1981 Bro.
Wm. Burton P.M. Installed his son John into the chair of the Lodge,
the first time that a father has Installed his son as R.W.M. in
1207.
In 1985 Bro. James Herd P.M. Benevolent
Fund Treasurer organised a Pensioners outing. A bus to Girvan with
a stop at Prestwick for morning coffee, lunch in Girvan and afternoon
tea at Lodge Troon Navigation's Hall in Troon, a day enjoyed by
all who took part.
During August 1986 the Masonic Kilties
of New Jersey again visited Scotland and Lodge Kelvin Partick was
one of the hosts. On the 6th August a Special Meeting was held in
the McLellan Galleries, Sauchiehall St when the team that exemplified
the Master Mason Degree Bro. Duncan R.Young P.M. was in the chair
of the Lodge for his second time, Bro. Herbert Boyd Most Worshipful
Past Grand Master of New Jersey was President of the Masonic Kilties.
The meeting was attended by over 400 brethren including Bro. Wm.
C. Sheperdson P.G.M. who headed the P.G.L. deputation along with
Bro. Brian G, Brown Substitute Grand Master.
The following year 1987 the Lodge was
again host to our American brethren, when on Tuesday 6th of October
the Virginian Craftsman from Richmond Virginia attended a Special
Meeting of our Lodge which was held in Couper Institute. Bro. Wm.
Ross R.W.M. presiding. Bro. Allen E. Roberts P.M . President of
his team in their grey and gold cavalry uniforms to exemplified
the Master Mason Degree as conferred in George Washington's time.
The ceremonial work was again appreciated by all brethren present.
In 1988 the Lodge had to move from the
Partick Burgh Hall and eventually changed our meeting place to the
Masonic Hall, Ardery St., we also had to change our meeting nights
from the 2nd and 4th Tuesday to the 1st and 3rd Tuesday. September
through to May.
Our first meeting took place in December when Bro. Richard Niven
was Installed R.W.M. During his year his son Kevin a 'lewis' was
initiated into the Lodge. This was the first time a Master had his
son initiated during his term of office. Kevin's First Degree was confered upon him by the Seven Masters of the Western District Lodges Association.
The connection with the Lodges in Belgium,-
Allegiance No 1465. and Wellington No 1385 - commenced about 1980.
In 1984 Bro. George Marshall was appointed Proxy Master of Lodge
Allegiance and in 1992 Bro.Gavin Lawson Proxy Master of Lodge Wellington.
On Tuesday 2nd August 1990 at a Special Meeting of the Lodge brethren
from both Allegiance and Wellington conferred an Entered Apprentice
Degree. The Ceremonial work was of the highest standard . The two
Lodges were again back in Scotland in 1992 and on the 9th of May
conferred another First Degree, Bro. James P Dickson P.M. R.W.M.
presiding.
In December 1992 Bro. George Marshall
P.M. , was Installed as R.W.M, for the 3rd time. At his Installation
Bro. Ian Bonnett R.W.M. of Lodge Allegiance presented him with a
cheque for £500 for any charily of his choice, as a token of their
appreciation of him being their Proxy Master and Honorary member.
£250 was donated to the Masters Charity and £250 to Cancer Research.
Towards the end of May Masonic history was made when under the auspices
of Lodge Kelvin Partick a team of brethren headed by Bro. George
Marshall R.W.M. visited Lodges in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the
Bahamas.
During the first week the team exemplified six M.M. degrees, five
in New Jersey and one in Philadelphia in one of the finest Masonic
Temples in the world. This was the first time in the history of
the Grand lodge of Pennsylvania going back to 1730 that a Lodge
under the Scottish Constitution had been invited to exemplify a
degree according to the Esoteric work of the Grand Lodge of Scotland.
On Saturday the 29th of May 1993 St Alban Swain Lodge No 529 was
opened at 1.00pm by their Master Bro. Russell B. Combs when the
M.M. Degree was conferred on one of their members, later on about
6.00pm the Lodge was handed over to Bro. George Marshall R.W.M.
when the team exemplified the M.M. Degree on the same brother will
had been raised earlier on. This was a historic occasion, a brother
receiving two M.M. Degrees in the one day.
The following week the team exemplified another M.M. Degree in New
Jersey and on the 3rd week travelled to Nassau in the Bahamas when
the team conferred a M.M. Degree on a candidate of Lodge St David
No.1741 (Scottish Constitution) Bro. Michael Taylor R.W.M. presiding.
Again Masonic history was made, this being the first time a Lodge
from Scotland had visited the Bahamas and conferred a Degree.
In September the Lodge was invited to Mother Kilwinning No. 0 to
confer a 2nd Degree, Bro. Marshall occupied the chair of the Mother
Lodge making a record of 11 chairs during his term of office.
In December
1993 Bro. Wm. McLoughlin was Installed Master, and in January
1994 travelled to Canada for the Installation of his cousin. Bro.
Wm. McLoughlin (also a member of 1207) where he was Installed Master
of his adopted Lodge. St Andrew No 661. St Catherine's Ontario,
another record, two Mcloughlin's in the chair of two Lodges in different
parts of the world.
From the foregoing it can be seen that the brethren of Lodge
Kelvin Partick No 1207 have done their very best to spread the light
of Freemasonry in many parts of the world and have encouraged others
to come to us and demonstrate how they carry out the ceremonial
work in their own particular Province. Long may that continue.
