Maranoa Lodge Remembers

On Friday March 9th, the brethren of Maranoa Lodge along with other members from around the region, held a memorial service for the late RWBro Nev Somers. Also in attendance were Bro Somers' wife Heather and their daughters.

In a solemn ceremony, Nev's long and illustrious Masonic career in both the Craft and other orders was remembered. Whilst "enjoyable" is perhaps not the correct term, the heartfelt efforts by the participating brethren were fully appreciated by RWBro Somers' family.

At the end of the service, RWBro Cliff Fulwood presented Mrs Somers with a Masonic Widow's Pin.

Second Degree Corona Lodge July 16th

On Saturday July 16th the Brethren of Corona lodge passed Brother Peter Harrison to the second degree. Brother Harrison set the tone with an impressive rendition of the candidate's catechism at the beginning of the night's proceedings. Corona's Senior Deacon did an admirable job showing a real commitment to the work. Members of Raphael and Maranoa lodges lent their support by actively assisting in the ceremony.

Maranoa Proclamation June 25th 2011

The brethren of Maranoa Lodge decided that the Master needed another 12 months in the chair of King Solomon to get it right. So on Saturday June 25th 2011 at the Roma Masonic Centre, Wor Bro Charles Burrell was proclaimed as Worshipful Master for 2011 - 2012. An excellent  ceremony was worked in the Lodge-room with Maranoa being ably supported by brethren from Raphael, Corona, Bonnie Doon, and at short notice, Pialba lodge.

As a part of the festivities, Bro Ray Martin received The Aged Masons, Widows and Orphans' fund Life Governor's jewel in recognition of the way he has grasped Freemasonry to his heart and the effort & support he gives to Maranoa Lodge, as evidenced by his being invested as Junior Warden for the coming year. The jewel was presented by VW Bro John Lethbridge, who in his last duty as AGSWks for the district, represented the MW Grand Master at the Proclamation.
