Guest Book

I have now incorporated a Guest Book Page (Kianawah Guest Book) to allow visitors to leave comments.

Recently our blog site has been receiving visits from all over the world, and as such I thought it was time that we offered our visitors the ability to leave a message, should they wish to do so.

Please note that any comments that are posted using the Guest Book page will be monitored and anything that is deemed as inappropriate will be removed.

Webmaster.

Double Second

Another month, and more degree work.

This time the honours were on Bro.Cotterill and Bro.Begley. Both were passed to the 2nd Degree.
Both were outstanding in their attention to detail in the questions put before them, and as such received favourable words from the W.M.

We had a few regular visitors, and welcomed some new visitors from Redlands, and as always Kianawah Brethren extended the hand of friendship.

Later the usual festive board ensued, and all attending Brethren shared a joke or two, and maybe a beer or two also.

It was also noted that on the 28th August, that Tuscan Lodge (Mother Lodge of Kianawah) will be installing Bro. Castleton into the chair of K.S.
This is the first time that Bro.Castleton has been installed as the W.M. as he was involved, and is only one of two remaining foundation members of Kianawah Lodge. All in all, not a mean feat to be overlooked, as Bro.Castleton is 87 years young!

Kianawah Brethren will be stewards on the evening, supporting our Mother Lodge and the Brethren of Tuscan.

Facebook Group

I have created a new group within Facebook called "Kianawah Lodge".

If you are a member of Facebook, and would like to be added to this group, then please feel free to do so.

Please note that this is a restricted group, therefore all requests to join the group will need to be confirmed before you will have access.

I hope through time that this will allow other Brethren to use this social network site to add content and share photos and general posts about their lodge, and promote good wholesome Freemasonry.

Installation

Well what a night!

Visitors from near and far, Grand Lodge Officers and a Piper to mark the ceremony, was a fitting tribute to not only the now immediate Past (Worshipful) Master, but for the Worshipful Master Elect. Wor.Bro MacKenzie
We had the honour of the presence of the Grand Master elect Adrian Burton and his team of Grand officers, of whom made up the numbers of the 100 Brethren present in the lodge room.

The installation itself went well, with all Brethren involved delivering their respective charge with confidence and the usual attention to detail.

It was an emotional time for Wor Bro.Clark, as he accepted his 4th Bar on the IPM Jewel, that belonged to his late father. He was presented this by long term friend Wor Bro.Anthony

Afterwards we had the installation festive board, were we had the chance to mix with the visiting Brethren and their wives.

The night was not to end there. Our very own Wor Bro.Wilson receiving another Jewel for his (Aged Masons, Widows & Orphans Charity Fund), this time it was upgraded to "Life Vice Patron".
We had a few laughs along the way also. With our very own larger than life Bro.Roberts deciding that mixing the raffle tickets in the bowl, meant that he should tip half of them out rather than just mix them up! Remember those eyes front Brethren, we may just miss that countdown.

1st Degree

This was a regular meeting in which saw the candidate go through the first Degree.

It was however a sad and joyous occasion, as it was to be the last time that the Worshipful Master would conduct this ceremony, prior to the installation on the 26th June.

The candidate showed great attention to all that was put before him, and moved throughout the evening with trust and poise whilst in the care of the JD.

This evening was one that shall be remembered, not only for the work that the officers carried out, but the level of care that was taken in each charge delivered, and when called upon, and in some cases at the last minute, proved once again that the Kianawah Brethren come together.

Visitors we had, and far and wide they came.......

We were honoured to have our regular visitors, whom have been very supportive of Kianawah Lodge, and the WM over his time in the chair.
We saw our visitors from the South who had been regulars whilst on location in Brisbane with work commitments.
We also had a visiting brother from the U.K. come along, of which he was duly welcomed.


All in all it was a night that had many memories......

Many for the candidate, of which I'm sure there will be many questions.
Many for the WM, and a time for reflection of at what has been achieved over the past 12 months.
Now we look forward to the up and coming installation, of which another new chapter begins.
