Grand Masters Victorian Fire Appeal
The Grand Master Most Wor. Bro Norman Cooper has advised that a cheque was posted yesterday to the United Grand Lodge of Victoria in the sum of $38690, the final figure for the Grand Masters Victorian Bush Fire Appeal.
"I am
overwhelmed by the generosity of the Freemasons of Tasmania including a
significant contribution from many other Orders. A truly magnificent
demonstration of one of our basic tenets.

The Grand Master, Grand Lodge of Tasmania, Most Worshipful Brother Norman Roy Cooper and his wife Cyrene, Deputy Grand Master, Right Worshipful Brother Campbell John Wallace and his wife Elva were recently joined by a group of Masons and their wives to attend the Grand Installation Ceremony of the Most Worshipful Grand Master of South Australia and the Northern Territory, Most Worshipful Brother Raymond Allen Clark in Adelaide. Celebrations included a Civic Reception followed by a Masonic Reception on Friday 17th April. In the tradition of trying to keep some room on the plastic, organisers arranged for morning tea for the ladies on Saturday morning, leaving the men to their own devices until Saturday afternoon for the Grand Installation followed by the Installation Banquet at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre. A church service followed by lunch was held on Sunday at the Adelaide Masonic Centre and on Monday a Coach tour was arranged. In all, a whirlwind weekend was had and enjoyed by all who attended and the organisers are to be congratulation for a job well done. The next Interstate Grand Installation is to be held from Thursday 29th October to Sunday 1st November 2009 for the Grand Lodge of Western Australia.

The
feedback indicates that all enjoyed themselves and are keen to support next
year’s event. Apart from the actual walking, it was plainly obvious that all
enjoyed the social
aspect, from talking together whilst walking or just
relaxing having a “cuppa”.
As
captain of the “Square and Compass” team I learnt a great deal about the actual
organising and would strongly recommend we support the 2010 event.
Although promoted by the N.W. Masonic Benevolence Society it was the
participants who made the project a success.
I would suggest that Ray Roland’s grand daughters added a family
atmosphere to our group. I also believe that Leigh Clark, Graham Deacon, Ian
(Road runner) Petty
and Ruth McKenna deserve a special mention for walking
during the “horror” time of
a truly remarkable effort.
Our cash contribution of $5,305 was made up as follows:-
Lodges 10 x $150
$1,500.00
N.W.Masonic Benevolence Society
3,600.00
Donations
205.00
There were some rather emotional times during the weekend, particularly
for those who have been affected by cancer and just to be there was rather
special.
Freemasonry to the general public.
I would like to think that the masons who participated will go back to
their Lodges and “sell” the proposal, so that next year we can participate with
more team members and possibly a greater
cash contribution.

Interview with Keith (Noel Keith) Welsh
16
June 2009
The
Worshipful Master, Max Pringle and the Lodge Almoner, Wor Bro Ivan Wass paid a
visit to Guilford Young Home for the Elderly to interview our oldest member of
the Masonic Fraternity in
Noel Keith
Welsh was born in Benalla
Keith was
married on
Following his
RAAF Service their daughter Noel was born and she trained as a pharmacist and
still works as a locum in
Masonically, Keith was initiated into Concord Lodge in Albury in 1928 and transferred to Wagga Loyalty in 1936. While retaining his membership of Wagga Loyalty, he affiliated with Victory Lodge (Tas) in 1947. He was proposed by Bro Badley from the Mercury and seconded by Bro Doug Plaister, well known Lord Mayor of Hobart, and became the relief organist for several years. He was elected as Chief Steward and the following year was proposed as Junior Deacon. Work commitments as a journalist prevented him from accepting the position. As he was the sports journalist (known as “Drop Kick”) his commitments with the paper placed a great deal of pressure on his attendance at his Lodge meetings with Victory Lodge and advancement was out of the question.
The Mercury dedicated a memorial trophy (The Keith Welsh Shield). It is awarded annually as a cash award. His employment with the Mercury was from 1947, earning ₤19.2.0 ($38.20) per week till 1970, a princely sum for those days. Keith was a journalist for all of his working life including his time in the Services.
Sadly, Keith never progressed to be Master of his
Lodge because of work and family commitments.
Victory Lodge closed and incorporated with The
Pacific Lodge and Keith transferred his membership to Pacific at that time and
maintains his membership of the Craft through the Pacific Lodge. He was
presented with his 80 year Certificate on his anniversary in October 2008 by
Most Worshipful Past Grand Master Robert Theo Clarke at his home in Guilford
Young Home.
His 103rd
birthday on
Keith has
been enjoying the views from his window, where he is well cared for by the Staff
with great respect, at Guilford Young Home overlooking the
As we were about to leave, Keith asked why we had taken the time to talk to him and compile this editorial, and the answer is inevitable – because we like you. He didn’t want us to go if there was anything further that we wished to ask him

SEVENTY YEARS A FREEMASON AND MASTER AT AGE
93
At the luncheon following the meeting of Macquarie Lodge
on
Among about sixty diners at the luncheon were Lance’s son, Gerrad, and his wife, Gayleen, and Lance’s two daughters, Julie Grey, from Redpa,in far North-Western Tasmania, and Sue Skinner from Queensland, Wor Bro Gordon Andrews, the Secretary of Meridian Lodge in suburban Adelaide as well as two personal friends of Lance from South Australia who had come to Tasmania especially for the occasion.
In thanking the Grand Master for the bar and the conferral of the promotion to the rank of Past Grand Warden, Right Worshipful Brother Lance gave an account of the highs and lows of his seventy years of Craft Freemasonry. He indicated that he hoped still to be around to qualify for the seventy-five year bar but thought that he might not be here to get the eighty-year bar!
In conclusion, he made a recommendation to the Board of General Purposes: That they emulate at seventy years what the Royal Auto Car Club do after fifty years of membership and put members onto half dues!

The Pacific Lodge
No 5TC has presented a scholarship annually since 1966 and while the
form of the award has changed over the years in relation to the
qualifications of recipients and matters relating to privacy, the
Lodge continues to support a student within Southern Tasmania with
this scholarship currently valued at $400. It is awarded annually to selected students, male or female, who are enrolled full-time in Tasmanian Certificate of Education and/or Vocational Education Training and who attend a Government senior secondary College in Southern Tasmania. The Scholarship is intended to assist those students who demonstrate enthusiasm and an aptitude for their chosen course of study, but through financial hardship their chances of completing their senior secondary education might be reduced. Early each year, senior secondary colleges are invited to submit two nominations from year 12 students, for consideration based on scholastic achievements in year 11. Criteria to be addressed in the application includes academic achievement, area of interest and study, personal qualities, future potential, contribution to college activities including sport, social and other community interest, financial circumstances and any other information which might support the nomination. Nominations are then considered by a committee within The Pacific Lodge and a recipient chosen and awarded at around March/April each year. The recipient of the scholarship this year was Kiara-Lee Gough from Claremont College. Photo at left shows Kiara-Lee after receiving her award and certificate from Wor Bro Jack Clear (Worshipful Master) left, and Wor Bro Max Pringle (Master Elect) right. |

The
Township bearing the name of one of our former Lieutenant
Governors' Colonel
William Sorell who held the office between 1817 and 1824 on the weekend
28/29 March commemorates 200 years of the
settlement of Sorell.
The area celebrated the occasion with a parade through the main
street, stalls and fun and rides for
children and families.
Pembroke Lodge No 74TC which incidentally is celebrating its
50th Anniversary at the same time, was invited to participate
in
the parade as one of the community organizations throughout the
area. In all around 30 different groups participated and
provided an interesting and colourful display promoting all
aspects of activities from all around.
The Wor Master of Pembroke Lodge sought dispensation from the
Most Worshipful Grand Master to have brethren participate
and
parade in full
regalia providing some opportunistic publicity for the Craft.
Representatives from all Lodges were invited to participate and
around 30 brethren braved the cold blustery conditions to
join
in the fun.
Pictures show Pembroke's anniversary banner in the capable hands of two
Fellowcraft, Bro Craig Siddell and Bro Andrew

Hello,
I would
like to thank the Board of Benevolence and Dorset Lodge
for the purchase of my mobile scooter. The scooter has
been and continues to be of great help in my travels to
the township of Scottsdale, Lodge and into my own
personal garden. Rest assured that this act of
generosity has made my life and mobility much easier and
is greatly appreciated. To let the community know of
your help I am proudly displaying the medallion on the
front of the scooter for all to see. I would encourage
other members to reciprocate this act of generosity by
in turn donating to the Board.
Regards,
Wor. Bro.

Attendance of Masters at Last nights and Installations
On a few occasions recently, the numbers of visitors at last nights and
masters on Installation meetings has been disappointing. I am sure that this is
for no other reason than forgetfulness. We, Past Masters should all remember the
pride we felt at seeing a special turnout on these occasions and endeavour to
replicate that feeling for our successors. To that end I have recorded last
nights as additional information on the Lodge Activity Listing so now it’s up to
you to record those special meetings in your Diary. There are no last night
meetings programmed for July.

Southern Tasmanian Masonic Widows' Association.
Mem
bers of the Masonic Widows' Association send greetings to all Masonic Widows in Tasmania.Our Association has been in existence for a
number of years, but still have not found any interest by widows in the North or
North West of Tasmania to encourage us to try to form
branches any where other
than in the South.
We meet on the fourth Friday of each month from February to November, usually at the Waratah Hotel, 272 Murray Street Hobart.
Occasionally we go on a bus trip instead of meeting in Hobart, enjoy a meal and sight seeing.
Some of our members also attend luncheons on the first Tuesday each month at Glenorchy with the Day-Time Lodge.
Meetings are always very short, and often humorous.
I am sure there are many more widows who would enjoy our company and be most welcome.
Anyone interested in joining our association, can contact the Secretary at the monthly meeting or phone her on
62
67 2719.
