Last Wednesday night Yeronga Lodge held an Education night on at the First Degree. Following a presentation on aspects of the First Degree by VW Bro Paul Holland, our WM and special guest for the evening, Wor Bro Chris Wiltshire, provided a masterly rendition of the Scottish First Degree Tracing Board.
The WM, Brethren of Yeronga and a number of visitors from other Scottish Working Lodges were very impressed and appreciative of Chris' presentation.
Wor Bro Wiltshire invited Brethren present to attend the Double Second Degree in June.

Last night Lodge Lord Saltoun performed a Third Degree Ceremony on Bro Kirk Dutton of Yeronga Lodge. The ritual was very well performed by the ceremonial team and Kirk proved a well prepared and attentive candidate. Eight Yeronga Brethren were in attendance and were most impressed by the ceremony.
Kirk is a Stonemason by trade and is about to embark on a far journey - to England for a few months on a working holday. Wer'e very pleased that we were able to assist Yeronga in ensuring he could leave these shores as a Master Mason.
Pictured above are Lord Saltoun and Yeronga Brethren plus Wor Bro John Stopford of Empire Lodge. Kirk is in the front row centre flanked by the WMs of both lodges - Wor Bro Peter Sinclair (Yeronga) and Wor Bro Chris Wiltshire (Lord Saltoun).

"Compass delves behind the aprons and funny handshakes to find out how Australian Freemasons are reinventing themselves to survive in the 21st Century."
Worth watching if you didn't see it on TV.
