hospital then situated on her tribal land. She remembers the kindness shown her, deeming it an honour and a small repayment to be able to cater for our group.
It is interesting to compare Freemasonry in Noumea with that in New Zealand. Probably the greatest mark was that while attending a New Zealand function I find myself well below the average age of those attending, in Noumea it was quite the opposite. The friendship and fellowship was evident at all our gatherings and we left Noumea having made many new friends and having, we trust, formed a lasting bond between Freemasons New Zealand and the Provincial Grand Lodge of New Caledonia.
There is no doubt that Freemasonry in Noumea is very strong and has a great future. We can only hope that the experience we all shared can lead to a positive reinforcement of our approach here in New Zealand to strengthen and advance the Fraternity. We are indebted to WBro Tony Templeton for his work in engendering the friendly relationship between our two groups and his organisational skills in ensuring this visit was a success.
