The International Pilgrimage of the Order in June was a great success, increased by the attendance of the Grand Master and the Grand Master Emeritus, and everyone attending was very appreciative of the work and effort that had gone into preparing for the event. The weather was perfect: not too hot, with glorious sunshine throughout. It would be difficult to choose better locations anywhere in Italy. Both Palermo and Monreale are filled with magnificent ancient monuments and churches steeped in history. The atmosphere among members attending was formal where required, but generally relaxed and very confraternal.

On Saturday the 10th of June a small but dedicated group of members of the Grand Bailiwick of Scotland gathered at the tranquil and lovely setting of the home and gardens of the Baillie Ron and Dame Elizabeth Partington for an afternoon Garden Party. The setting was perfect just on the outskirts of Edinburgh at the foot of the Pentland Hills. Peter and Irene Rae provided the Gazebo: however it took a few members sometime to erect the structure fighting against a slight breeze and no assembly instructions. We go it up in the end, (Hooray). We were very pleased to see our good friends Charles and May McKerrell who had travelled up from the Borders to join us for the afternoon.
