The new Lodge will be formally consecrated on Saturday, November 5, 2022 at Tea Gardens Masonic Centre, 27 Myall Street, Tea Gardens, commencing at 9.am.

The consecration will be followed by a celebratory luncheon at the Hawks Nest Golf Club.

The consecration ceremony will be led by The Most Worshipful Grand Master Lesley Norman Hicks and the Grand Ceremonial Team.

The full team of Lodge officers will be installed in a Grand Lodge Ceremony and the 31 Foundation Members will be welcomed into the new Lodge by the Worshipful Master in the second part of the ceremony.

Over the past 90 plus years, Masonic activities have supported many local businesses, sporting groups, and struggling families with financial aid and assistance.

Now, the Lodge is inviting any former brethren or interested men who have recently arrived in the area to come and join the community.

The new Lodge is a Daylight Lodge, meeting on the second Monday of the month commencing at 10.30 am, followed by light refreshments, and partners are welcome to share the festive board after the meeting.

Tony Ward, Formation Secretary of the Lodge told News Of The Area, “Essentially the Freemasons are a charitable organisation, one of the oldest in the world.”

“The new Lodge members are committed to continuing their support of the local community,” he said.

Around 120 Freemasons are expected to attend the consecration of the Lodge.
