Lodge Visitation – Lodge Kensington No. 270

It's visitation time again!

This week, our Brethren, forming a Fraternal, had the pleasure of visiting Lodge Kensington No. 270, where the evening's work focused on the Explanation of the First Degree Tracing Board.

Our Worshipful Master had the privilege of delivering the explanation, providing an opportunity to share knowledge, reflect on the symbolism and deepen our understanding of the teachings of the First Degree.

It was a wonderful evening of Masonic fellowship, learning and sharing in the traditions of our Craft.

We extend our sincere thanks to the Worshipful Master and Brethren of Lodge Kensington No. 270 for their warm welcome and hospitality.

We look forward to our next opportunity to visit and strengthen the bonds of Brotherhood.

Travelling in Friendship. Learning Together. Strengthening the Craft.

Lodge of Instruction – Back to Basics

Part of honing our Ritual is getting back to basics and continually refining our work in the Lodge.

It's easy for bad habits to creep in over time, which is why regular practice, instruction and attention to detail are so important.

Here we see our Worshipful Master working through some of the floor work with a number of Entered Apprentice Freemasons (EAFs) from Freemasons NSW & ACT Region 3

A great opportunity to revisit the fundamentals, build confidence and strengthen our understanding of the Ritual.

After all, good ritual is not simply about knowing the words; it's about understanding the work and delivering it with confidence, precision and respect for our traditions.

Back to basics. Practice makes progress.

The Cup of Brotherhood Overflows!

The October meeting of Lodge Kingsford-Smith saw Brother Matthew initiated into Freemasonry. While this important occasion brought with it many new experiences, one thing he may not have expected was the overwhelming show of support from his fellow brethren.

Close to 40 brethren gathered to witness his initiation, representing Lodge Victoria No 56 Ontario, Canada, Lodge Double Bay, Lodge Woollahra, Lodge Eastern Suburbs, Lodge Hellenic-Arcadia, Lodge Trinity, Lodge Cedars, Lodge Sir Walter-Scott and Lodge Pennant Hills.

The South didn’t disappoint either! Brethren enjoyed a delicious spread of beef lasagna, carbonara, pizza, and a variety of garden salads, followed by ice cream and fresh fruit for dessert.

It was a wonderful evening that truly embodied the spirit of brotherhood, fellowship, and support that makes Freemasonry so special.

Welcome to the Craft, Brother Matthew!

Our Worshipful Master recently visited Lodge Kirrawee No. 903. The work for the evening was a 3rd Degree Raising, which was conducted by their Worshipful Master Brett Keegan.

During the South, our WM presented Very Worshipful Bro. Ardon Muriti with a Lodge Kingsford Smith tie; this being a small token of appreciation for his work in redesigning the Lodge Kingsford Smith logo, along with his support in the digital space.

VW Bro. Muriti, on behalf of Lodge Kingsford Smith, once again, thank you.

'Smithy' would be proud; the hangar door will always be open Brother.

Our WM visited Lodge Pennant Hills last week; the following day, he received this email, to which he is humbled. Sometimes visiting isn't just about the visit; it's about the support we provide to each other.

***************************************
Worshipful and Dear Brother Duncan,

Thank you so much for attending the Meeting of Lodge Pennant Hills last night to be part of the Raising of Brother Steven Hewlett. I am most grateful to you for agreeing to deliver the Third Working Tools and I am sure that our Candidate could not fail to have been very impressed by your presentation.

A Meeting where such expert presenters are assembled is a delight to attend and a true gift to the fortunate Candidate on whom all attention is focused. Last night’s was one such Meeting and your contribution, dear Brother, assured its success.
,
I am truly grateful to you for your assistance, and I hope you enjoyed being part of what I regard as a successful Ceremony of Raising.
