Stuart’s first appointment to Provincial Grand Lodge was to Past Provincial Assistant Grand Chaplin. He was then promoted to Past Provincial Grand Registrar. In 2006 he was appointed Provincial Grand Superintendent of Works, which he assured us was because he had a large car and trailer! However, were not quite convinced of that any more! The year 2007 brought promotion to Provincial Senior Grand Warden.
