Indus’ fifth
27 November 23
Lodge Indus No 1055
2023 marks the fifth anniversary of Lodge Indus’s consecration on 7 July 2018 by MW Bro Jamie Melville who was then Grand Master. Despite COVID-19 and its challenges when many lodges had to cancel or postpone installs or reinstall their sitting WM, Lodge Indus in the last five years has had five WMs – a great achievement for such a young lodge. In late July the Turramurra Masonic Centre was the colourful venue for Lodge Indus’s Installation.
Bro Vivek Papineni was installed into the Chair of King Solomon by the WM, W Bro Anu Mehrotra. The installation was conducted in the presence of RW Bro Khris Albano, DGM. It was a very joyous occasion, attended by well over 80 brethren from various lodges.
As always RW Bro Troy Gara (GDC), VW Bro Peter Goodridge (DGIW D23), VW Bro Edgar Dela Cruz (GStdB) and W Bro Simon Haddad (GStd) were very attentive and supported the brethren of Lodge Indus throughout the ceremony.
Lodge also had the pleasure of congratulating two brethren (W Bro Ravi Gnanadickam and W Bro Harbir Nindra) who had been Freemasons for 50 years and presenting them with their certificates and jewels. Everyone had a pleasurable South, and the brethren truly enjoyed each other’s company.
Lodge Indus meets at the Castle Hill Masonic Centre on the fourth Friday of each odd-numbered month. (Jan, Mar, May, July, Sept, Nov.)
