Chapter, Mark arrangements


Wayne Smith (Grand Scribe Ezra of Supreme Grand Chapter, and Grand Secretary of United Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons of Victoria) advises: “The Grand Installations of Grand Mark and Supreme Grand Chapter that were scheduled for May 2020, and subsequently deferred to October 2020, have now been cancelled outright.  

“All Grand Officers in both Orders will continue to serve until 2021.  Arrangements have been made and the next Grand Installations will be held at the Pullman Hotel, Queens Road, Melbourne on April 16-18, 2021.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has caused huge disruption to the social fabric of our society, and potentially having no definite end in sight Supreme Committee and the Board of General Purposes consider that the only way to give some surety in all of this was to cancel the 2020 Grand Installations and start afresh (as it were) in 2021.  

“Depending on any social distancing still in place, Grand Convocations and Grand Communications later this year may be a possibility. 

“The Office of the Joint Secretariat will continue to work from home and will provide updates and advice to all Lodges and Royal Arch Chapters.  Grand Mark and Supreme Grand Chapter look forward with great expectation to when our Lodges and Chapters can resume labour.”

    The Royal Arch Chapters, Grand Mark and Ark Mariners can count on me to continue as as Organist.
