Berry’s masons walk tall and proud

31 August 22

Lodge Broughton No 131 

Lodge Broughton attended the ANZAC ceremony in the town of Berry on the South Coast. Having received approval from the Grand Secretary to attend the ceremony in Craft regalia, Lodge Broughton proudly marched through the main street of Berry as masons. 

The march brought the presence of Freemasonry and Lodge Broughton to the attention of the Berry population and generated several enquiries and questions from the public. Everybody involved enjoyed the rare and memorable occasion. 

The ceremony began with a short march down the main street of Berry and along Alexandra Street and ended in front of the War Memorial at the corner of the Showground, close to the Berry railway station.
