Lodge of Sorrow for Bro. W. Neil Malpass PM
Report by RWM Craig Rodger

Fife No. 19 recently held a Lodge of Sorrow for P.M.Bro.William Neil Malpass. Several other brethren of lodge 19 were also remembered at this ceremony. At this meeting, a total of 57 brethren signed the tyle. There were visitors from 15 different Lodges, some from Lanarkshire and Midlothian; also present were 6 members of the Provinical Grand Lodge of Fife and Kinross headed by the Provinical Grand Master. A collection for MacMillan Cancer Support realised a sum of £177 which is to be increased to £200 from Lodge No.19 funds.
R.W.M. JH. of Wilsontown Ironworks St. John's Lodge No.236 Forth, Lanarkshire gave a vote of thanks and exchanged fraternal greetings with Lodge No.19, on behalf of all the visiting brethren. The Lodge of Sorrow was a very moving ceremony of remembrance, for our departed brethren.

Bro Neil Malpass - sadly missed.

Our Masonic future depends on many things, but mostly on us!

Cupar: The Town

  • Cupar was created a royal burgh in 1328.
  • Until the 16th century it was among the richest royal burghs in Scotland, but declined in the 17th century.
  • It flourished once again as a centre of the linen industry in the 18th century.
  • The County town of Fife, which serviced travellers on their way from Edinburgh to Dundee and Aberdeen.
  • By mid 19th century the railway carried travellers through without stopping, industrial development shifted to west Fife where coal was plentiful, and St Andrews took over as the cultural centre of east Fife.
  • Since the town did not develop major industries, it retains its medieval town plan and many fine buildings from its Georgian heyday.

Proverbs

  1. Wha would gang tae Cupar maun gang tae Cupar
  2. A' roads gang tae Cupar
