Address to a Haggis
Bicentenary Celebrations On 6 January Lodge Antiquity held a very special lodge meeting and festive board celebrating 200 years since foundation. With pipers, and haggis, members of the lodge and their guests toasted 200 years of continual service to Freemasonry in Australia. Freemasonry in Australia can be traced back to the arrival of Europeans in 1788, but it was not until January 6 1820 that a petition was granted by the Grand Lodge of Ireland for the creation of a lodge in Australia and on 12 August 1820 a consecration ceremony was conducted to

create what is now known as Lodge Antiquity No.1. Worshipful Master of Lodge Antiquity No. 1, Samir Boutros said: ‘This year will be a wonderful year for our lodge as we mark our bicentenary. It is remarkable to look back over 200 years and see where Freemasonry in Australia has come from, but more importantly where it is going.’ The celebrations for Lodge Antiquity have just began, with a range of activities being undertaken throughout 2020. The main events will be in June and August:
Monday 1 June for the Installation ceremony of the Worshipful Master Elect. Monday 3 August for the celebration of its 200th year since Consecration.
Integrity – Loyalty – Respect Freemason
