Ian Tait was presented with a inscribed plaque and bible at the Service on Sunday 2 December, after serving as Session Clerk to the St. Mungo's Kirk Session for 21 years. In that time he missed only one meeting. 

Margaret Webster, as Assistant Session Clerk, made the presentation and gave thanks to Ian for his service to the Church.

Ian is a born and bred Penicuik man. He was born in 1941at 26 Kirkhill Road, a stones throw from St. Mungo's Church. He joined St. Mungo's at the age of 17 in 1958 when he was also a member of the Boys Brigade.

Joining the Eldership of the Church was achieved in 1983, and next year will see his 50th anniversary as a Church member.

Though fraught by recent ill health from which he has recovered, thanks to doctors and prayers from the congregation, Ian will continue to serve as an Elder and maintain his district of church members.

Sandy Robertson will take Ian's place as Session Clerk from the beginning of January 2008.
