TEMPLE FIRE - SEE 'LATEST NEWS' SECTION

The Masonic Temple is located on John Street, just off Shore Street, the main road through Gourock.

At present the Lodge Temple is undergoing extensive repair work following the identification of structural damage at the start of the 2007/08 session. The Brethren of Lodge Firth of Clyde were consulted as to the courses of action available and voted overwhelmingly to work to retain their historic Temple building.

A quite magnificent sum of money has been raised through pledges and donations from the members of Lodge 626 themselves, as well as from other sources. A number of donations have also been recieved from other Lodges and Freemasons both within and outwith the Province of Renfrewshire West.

To coin a phrase - "If you had it, would you give it?" - This has most certainly been the case, and the Brethren of Lodge 626 are most grateful for the help & assistance given by all.

I am sure in due course there will be many occassions whereby the benefactors can enjoy some Lodge hospitality in the newly refurbished Temple!
