March 2011 meeting

At its March 2011 meeting Duke of Leinster Council No.93 worked the degrees of Knights of the East and West, welcoming three new members. Sir Kt Rodney Clark was installed as E.Chief. Our new Excellent Chief is a Past Master of St Andrew's Lodge No.19 (South Australian Constitution) and a Past King of Duke of Leinster Royal Arch Chapter No.363 IC which also meets in Adelaide. A founder member of Duke of Leinster Council, he became a Knight Mason in Esdras Council No.90 several years ago.

Members and several partners enjoyed a happy lunch at the Prince Albert Hotel afterwards.

The Council has two candidates for the degrees of Knight of the Sword and Knight of the East, to be worked at the next meeting in September.

Members were pleased to receive copies of the latest issue of the Order's magazine, "The KM Trowel".

The photo from Behistun in Iran shows Darius the Great. The inscription, carved into a cliffside, gives the same text in three languages, telling the story of Darius' conquests, illustrated by life-sized carved images of Darius with other figures in attendance (click on photo for larger image).

March meeting 2010

The meeting held Saturday 20 March 2010 proceeded well (luckily there was a screen for the main door of the lodge room, affording privacy from the remaining portion of the anteroom in use as a polling room for the State Elections!).

Five members were admitted as Knights of the East and West, then as Knight Masons, following which the Installation Ceremony was held. Michael Beck is the new Chief. The Council has a new Scribe - for contact details please see at right.


The photos show some of our members and friends at refreshment afterwards, at the Prince Albert Hotel who very kindly made a private room available.
