On Saturday 31 January Queensland Sovereign Rose Croix Chapter No 9 held a meeting which was significant for 3 reasons.
Firstly we welcomed a new member, Alexander 'Jack' Edwards and carried out a Ceremony of Perfection on him.
Secondly we held our annual Installation Ceremony where Illustrious Bro Clifton Isted 30° was installed as Most Wise Sovereign.
An thirdly, we celebrated No 9's 130th anniversary. Our Sovereign Chapter was consecrated on 31 January 1879 and has met continuously ever since. It is No 9 on the Roll of the Supreme Council for Scotland and the oldest in the Southern Hemisphere. Attrition of other old chapters probably means we are higher on the roll than No 9 however.
It was a very enjoyable afternoon and evening and we welcomed a number of distinguished visitors including Most Powerful Sovereign Grand Commander Jim Kelly 33° and Most Illustrious Bro Rod Powell 33° both from the Supreme Council for Australia. They were welcomed by V Ill Bro Allan Verran 33° Deputy for the Province of South Queensland Metropolitan, Supreme Council for Scotland.
