RECOMENDATIONS
I am instructed by Grand Lodge Management Committee to refer to your Notice of Motion on the subject of donations to the National Arboretum, and to advise that the Motion has been ruled NON COMPETENT on the grounds that the R.A.O.B. War memorial Fund does not contain any donations made by Provinces to the National Arboretum Fund.
This motion will therefore not appear on the September 2017 Grand Lodge Agenda. Should your Province wish to challenge this ruling, you may do so under the terms of Rule 4:10B, in which case the matter will be placed on the next Grand Lodge Agenda. If this is your intention, please forward the Appeal to Grand Lodge Office as soon as possible.
