We started the year in the midst of a real growth phase that showed little sign of slowing down. 2012 didn't disappoint with 16 working nights courtesy of partnering with Lodges such as St Andrew, Morningside, Stanley and General Glasgow.
We conferred a total of 22 degrees during the year: 8 Firsts, 9 Seconds and 5 Thirds.
The biggest highlight of the year was no doubt our hosting the Gathering of the Clans held in March in Grand Hall. We raised Bro James Sherrit to the Third Degree in the presence of the Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, Assistant Grand Master, many Brethren from Scottish Ritual and UGLQ Ritual working lodges throughout Queensland and a delegation from the District Grand Lodge of Western Australia (Grand Lodge of Scotland).
Bro Peter Ryan was Installed into the Chair of King Solomon in June with Master Masons in all progressive offices.
During the year Grand Lodge rank was conferred on Wor Bro Shawn Ket who was given the rank of Past Senior Grand Deacon. Also participating in Grand Lodge activities in 2012/13 were: RW Bro David Sherrit (Grand Director of Ceremonies), VW Bro Paul Holland (AGSWks and nominated as Senior Grand Warden), Wor Bro Shawn Ket PSGD ( Board Member, Board of General Purposes), Wor Bro Rodger Klopp (Grand Sword Bearer and nominated for AGSWks), Wor Bro Peter Sinclair (nominated for Grand Standard Bearer) and Bro Tony Anderson (Grand Tyler (continuing).
