| An Interesting Year for Dorset Lodge | |
 |
Dorset Lodge
under Wor. Bro. Michael Bradford,
its new Worshipful Master, is experiencing an
interesting and enjoyable year. He has taken it on
himself to open
the Lodge rooms
to the public from 9 am to 12 am on lodge days, and has
had
quite a
deal of interest, resulting one new candidate and an
affiliation. Another new member has already been initiated and it is hoped that another will be balloted for shortly. The July meeting was very successful when ladies and friends were invited along to a dinner of soup, and varied number of casseroles, followed by a large choice of sweets, all at a cost of ten dollars. The lodge was tyled for a short time at 11.30 am, when visiting brethren were welcomed. Avery large number of lucky door prizes were drawn during the afternoon, and quiet music was provided by well known local, Doug Chugg. The day proved such a success that it is to become a regular for our July meeting. It has been decided that our Christmas meeting would follow a similar trend with children invited along with Santa Claus to be in attendance. With new candidates coming along, it is great to see rituals being dusted off and some quality degree work being done, let us hope this trend continues not only at Dorset Lodge, but in others, as there is nothing better than doing proper degree work Pictured left, Wor. Bro. Michael Bradford of Dorset Lodge and Wor. Bro. Les Hodge of Esk Lodge. |

| The
June meeting of the lodge featured the Annual Burnie
Masonic Scholarships Certificate
presentations, which this year were presented to the
recipients by the Grand Master Most. Wor. Bro.
Norman Cooper. The Wor. Master Bro. P. J. Radel welcomed the students, their families and their educators together with the Lodge Ladies and Ladies of visiting Masons. The Grand Master outlined the history of scholarships, making particular reference to the D. I. Bartley Burnie Masonic Memorial Scholarships, which was established by the former Burnie Rechab Lodge scholarship from a suggestion by Bro. D. I. Bartley who unfortunately died before its inception and the Hilton Sharp Burnie Masonic Memorial Scholarship which was established by the former Gill Memorial Lodge and named after a prominent Freemason, Rt. Wor. Bro. Hilton Sharpe, remarking that both Scholarships commenced in 1991. The greater part of the initial funds came from the estates of the late Bros. Ernest West and Roy Conroy. Winner of the Hilton Sharpe Scholarship and ex Hellyer Campus Tasmania Academy student Zac Durkin now studying medicine at the University Tasmania outlined his progress to date, through his five year course. The winners of the D. I. Bartley were Grade Seven Pupils from both Parklands and Burnie High Schools, Lisa Russell from Burnie High thanked the members for their financial support she had received. Tanya Stubbs the recipient from Parklands was unable to be present. A very successful evening which was supported by the Grand Lodge team accompanying the Grand master in addition to the visiting Brethren concluded with a buffet supper in the South.

Pacific Lodge Sesquicentenary Celebrations |
|
 |
 |
|
On Thursday 17th June the Pacific Lodge celebrated 150 years of existence. Highlight of the evening was a recollectionof the social history of the first 30 years 1860 - 1890 by Most Wor Bro Robert Theo Clarke, Past Grand Master, who related the history of the people and the occupations of members who practiced Freemasonry in the early years and at the same time indicated comparisons with names and occupations of Masons of the period to the recent past. Following the presentation by Most Wor Bro Clarke, the Most Worshipful Grand Master, Most Worshipful Bro Norman Roy Cooper acknowledged the dedication of Wor Bro Brian Sims to the Masonic Centenary Medical Research Foundation by conferring on him the rank of Past Grand Inspector of Lodges, for his dedication in his role as Chairman of the Foundation over a number of years. No one was more surprised than Very Worshipful Bro Sims. Celbrations continue with a Service of Recognition at St Aidens Church, Lindisfarne on Sunday 20th June and will culminate with an anniversary dinner at the Bellerive Yacht Club on Sat 2 Oct 2010. The enclosed photos show the anniversary cake and The Most Worshipful Grand Master Norm Cooper assisting the Wor Master of Pacific Lodge Wor Bro David Ferguson laying waste to the cake, centrepiece of the celebration.

Pacific Lodge says thank you.
Neil Gray has for many years supported the Pacific Lodge as Inner Guard, Tyler, Deacon, Steward and Senior Steward. It is only natural that following such devotion that he should be rewarded by the Lodge for his tremendous effort. Neil has been actively involved with his Lodge since 1983 and his zeal has now been acknowledged with the presentation by R. Wor . Bro Bill Hawkes (He's on the right) when on behalf of the Lodge as a mark of appreciation he presented Neil with one of his much sought after hand crafted accessory cases.

Heritage
Tasmania Open Door Festival 3 Sandy Bay Road Hobart |
|
|
3 Sandy Bay Road doors thrown
open to the public.
Heritage Tasmania, recently
held an "Open Doors" Festival event around Hobart
during the weekend 29/30 May. The Association
provided tour guides and in the case of 3 Sandy Bay
Road, Architect Barry McNeill was on hand to point
out many of the Art Deco features of the building.
Constructed circa 1938, the
Masonic Centre is an example of Inter-War Stripped
Classicism with Art Deco influences. It was designed
by well-known architect, Lauriston Crisp, who
considered it to be his finest work.
The interior of this building is intact with only minor modifications made to it since its construction. The two Lodge rooms are beautiful and in their original condition. The building is made up of two stories and has 17 foot ceilings throughout. It is still actively used by several Masonic lodges from Southern Tasmania. This tour provided a rare opportunity to see into the beautiful Meeting Rooms of a Masonic Lodge. Some members of the Freemasons dressed in full Masonic regalia and explained the history of Freemasonry, including tours of the Lodge Rooms and other parts of the building. This was a fascinating tour and a rare insight into Freemasonry in Tasmania.

Southern Tasmanian Masonic Widows' Association.
M
embers 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
