Lodge Challenge No 284: A Challenging Install
22 November 23
On Thursday 22 June, RW Bro Liam Cooper PJGW was re-installed as Worshipful Master of Lodge Challenge in Concord
This will be RW Bro Cooper’s seventh time in the Chair. The Installing Master for the evening was the WM, W Bro Timothy Osborne, who stepped down after two years leading the Lodge.
The Grand Master’s Representative was the local DGIW for District 24, VW Bro Franciscuss Sunga. It was the first installation during his term as DGIW. Our new Worshipful Master had only recently stepped down as DGIW, having spent a double term in that role through the Covid period.
The Installing Master was ably assisted by the Grand Director of Ceremonies VW Bro Owen Sandry PDGIW GSTW who travelled from Port Macquarie for the evening. The Herald, W Bro Glen Townsend, came all the way from Henty!
One of the oldest members of the Lodge, RW Bro John McGregor PAGM, travelled from Newcastle to give the Address to the Brethren. Our Education Officer, VW Bro Lachlan Gelling, the current DGIW for District 46, travelled from Bathurst.
RW Bro Cooper can now relax back into the role of Worshipful Master, a role he is very familiar with.
