New Grand Master installed in QLD.

On Saturday the 3rd of July, over 600 brethren witnessed the new Grand Master, RW Bro Adrian Burton being installed at the Ann St Masonic Centre in Brisbane..  .

Bro Burton had previously served on the Board of General Purpose prior to serving 3 years as the Deputy Grand Master, he was voted Grand Master Elect at the December Quarterly Communication last year.

On behalf of AusFm and it members we  like to congratulate the MW Bro Adian and wish him and his team all the best in their endeavours.  Like wise to MW Past Grand Master Graeme Ewin who has given this site his support in the past we trust his retirement from the big chair is enjoyable and wish him all the best for the future.
