Achievements and Performance During the past twelve months a number of projects have been completed in respect of the maintenance and preservation of Freemasons’ Hall. These have included repointing work, repairing and repainting external windows frames on the front elevation. Other minor works were also completed. Freemasons’ Hall continues to receive items of historic masonic interest from various sources. These items are gratefully received and acknowledged and where appropriate, displayed or archived. Freemasons’ Hall hosted a wedding and reception during the year, using all available Halls in the building, for which we received a donation. During the year, several tours were provided on request. These included visitors from overseas and some local organisations. A number of members’ organisations, operating within Freemasons’ Hall Aberdeen, have made donations to local and national charitable associations.
