Associated Organisations
The Trades House of Glasgow has 14 Incorporated Trades or Crafts which make up the Trustees of the Trades House. We also have 3 other organisations with very close links, who along with the 14 Incorporations make up the annual Chain Gang, i.e. people who fund raise for the Trades House and wear chains of office to official dinners etc.
It may be of interest to those not involved in the Trades House to learn that the Head of an Incorporation is called a Deacon or in the case of the Maltmen, the Visitor. The other Incorporation office bearer of note is the Collector who traditionally Collected and looked after the funds and also collected new members.
The head of the Trades House is the Deacon Convenor and he or she is the 3rd citizen of Glasgow after the Lord Provost and the Dean of Guild. The Deacon Convenor is supported by the Collector of the House.
The close linked organisations are:
Grand Antiquity Society
Association of Deacons
Trades House Lodge
The other organisations are:
Society of Deacons and Free Preses
Weavers Society of Anderson
Govan Weavers Society
Tailors of Rutherglen
North Parish Washing Green Society
