Tonight at Stephens OSM we Inducted Bro Christopher Brown. Chris is pictured with the Grand Supreme Ruler, M Wthy Bro David Sherrit (also member of the Conclave), Wthy Bro Rodger Klopp (Worthy Supreme Ruler) and other members of Stephens.
Very saddened to hear of the passing of John Brian (Brian) Newton, who until Saturday was the MWthy Grand Supreme Ruler.
He should have been the installing officer for David Sherrit but ill health overtook him and he passed peacefully yesterday morning.
Brian was a gentle man in every sense of the word and was a welcome visitor to our Conclave particularly during the two years I spent in the Chair.
The pic above is of Brian being Installed as GSR two years ago.
Great day yesterday when our own RtWthy Bro David Sherrit was Installed as the head of the Order of the Secret Monitor for Northern Australia and Papua New Guinea.
We had a full house at Stones Corner for the open ceremony. Dave was Installed by another Stephens member - MWthy Bro Don Long - also a Past Grand Supreme Ruler.
To top off the day Stephens Conclave No. 5 won the Ted Bousen Award for membership.

April has been a very busy month in Stephens Conclave with two meetings held. We have conducted a double induction Ceremony at each.
Brothers Peter Watson, Allan Patman, Thomas Buckley and Luke Roberts have taken their first degrees in the Conclave. They join other recent members Shannan Summers and Justin Buckley who were inducted in December.
Below are photos of the Brethren following their respective ceremonies.
Last month Brothers Shannan Summers and Justin Buckley were Inducted into the Stephens Conclave No 5 of the Grand Conclave for Northern Australia and Papua New Guinea of the Order of the Secret Monitor.
Both were great candidates and will be followed into Stephens this year by Allan Patman, Peter Watson, Thomas Buckley and Luke Roberts.
Earlier this month we were delighted to be able to confer the Princes Degree on Bros Bart Bartholomew and Nick Jelicic.
Many thanks to those Brethren who were able to fill in for officers kept away through travel and illeness. A very enjoyable night's work which now leads us into our installation meeting in October.
Bro Rodger Klopp was elected as Worthy Supreme Ruler-elect for the 2014-15 year.
Tonight at Stephens Conclave we Inducted Bro Nick Jelicic of Lodge St George into our Order.
Quite a few of our regular members missing this evening through travel, illness and other Masonic activities, however our subsitute officers did a great job. Many thanks to them.
We were also honoured to have the Most Worthy Grand Supreme Ruler, MWthy Bro Brian Newton, in attendance.
