lodge of st david
Masonic Musings My “last night”, held on 6th preliminaries over and out many golfing fans present etc, furniture of a sturdier of the way prior to the actual even if there was a distinctly nature is in order. July was a beauty.
Amy Suckling and Steven Dobby were married at the bride’s parents’ home overlooking Lake Mulwala on April 29 by celebrant Isabelle Warren.
Suckling of Yarrawonga and Steven is the son of Donna and Alan (dec) Dobby of Mulwala. The reception was held at the Yarrawonga and Border Golf Club. The couple honeymooned in Paris, Spain and Berlin and Amy is the daughter will make their home in of Steve and Marion Canberra. new arrival
Katherine Isabelle Robertson was born on July 7 at Yarrawonga District Health Service weighing 3300gms. Katherine is the first child for Heidi and Troy Robertson of Mulwala.
A good roll-up of members and visitors plus a goodly number of lovely ladies who were addressed by Cr. Jessie McCallum on the role of women in local government, whilst the Lodge members held a brief meeting in the Lodge room for the purpose of preparing our Master –Elect, golfing nut Barry Cocks, for his Installation as Master on Saturday 6th August. The ceremony of Installation of Master and the investiture of his officers, followed by a banquet, tends to make for a lengthy day so most Lodges, including 103, try to get the
Installation. Due to the wonderful input from the ladies, this “last night” became a mini banquet as we traditionally have a casserole supper, and in this case Charlie Chan, the Master of Cobram Lodge, and a well known restaurateur, produced a supply of his famous chicken and corn soup. The supper room looked a picture thanks largely to the efforts of the Whelan family, the food and the company was excellent and I was top dog (or Hawk) for the evening. Couldn’t ask for more than that. And it was good to see so
Scottish atmosphere about the place. I have been referred to as McClarken but that is not a problem. We now have a full complement of modern tables and chairs for our supper room and will be disposing of a number of wooden trestles and quite a few very old Vienna or Bentwood chairs. These chairs are in quite good condition and belong in places of refined dining. They are nice chairs but outof-place in a male dominated environment, and as our future plans involve the letting-out of the supper room and kitchen for small parties, receptions,
“We
will
be
holding
a
general meeting of members
on Monday 18th July to discuss
our renovations and to make some final decisions regarding furniture and fittings. Although I’ve had my “last
night” I remain in the Chair
until Barry takes over on 6th
August, but that does not mean
retirement, at least, not yet.
But golf is currently a problem. Arthritic knees seemingly love the elderly.
