π *Hands Across the Border 2026 Recap* π
On August 1st, 2026, the Albury Masonic Centre proudly hosted the tradition of Hands Across the Border. This event, which unites Masonic Centres along the NSW & Victoria border, strengthens the bonds of friendship between the United Grand Lodge of NSW & ACT and the United Grand Lodge of Victoria.
Our NSW/ACT Grand Master, MW Bro Khris Albano, extended the right hand of fellowship to the VIC Grand Master MW Bro Peter Henshall and the Albury Freemasons were honored to host this wonderful gathering at Lodge Farrer No. 93, followed by a banquet at the Commercial Club Albury where a combined donation of $42,050 was given to Yes Unlimited, who provide a range of services and supports for young people, people experiencing homelessness or housing issues and people experiencing domestic and family violence.
A special highlight was the re-enactment of the UGLVβs Ceremony of Consecration, a significant moment in forming a new lodge.
A very big thank you to the amazing Renan Legaspi for capturing these moments through his photography! πΈ
