Vic - Ride to Daylesford 12 Oct 2008

Members of the Victorian Chapter met at the Loot Cottage Garden Cafe in Bacchus Marsh at 10:30 AM. Brian, the proprietor opened the cafe early, especially for us and his hospitality was greatly appreciated. After Grant had his usual breakfast and everyone else had coffee etc, we set off for Daylesford via Trentham. The roads were in nice and windey and in excellent condition, the weather was fine and sunny (around 29 degrees celcius) and there were heaps of other motorcyclists doing the same thing we were doing. We pulled in to Daylesford around 12:30 and had lunch at one of the local pubs. The food and company were great. Dylan Weaver had brought along another Mason from his lodge on the ride (Stuart) and he appeared to enjoy the ride and company too.
At around 2:30 we saddled up and departed on our ways back "from whence we came". In my case, it was just on 160 kms back home and the first 45 minutes was through some great rolling hills and fantastic scenery.
We look forward to getting together again at our Chapter AGM in 3 weeks time.

NSW - Tamworth Lodge Visit Nov 2003

In November of 2003 the Central Coast CHAPTER went up to Tamworth for the Raising of Bro MATTHEW Sanderson from Lodge Wyong/Tuggerah Lakes on the Central Coast. His Father and GrandFather came from there - both were both Mason's. The Chapter was well represented and we all had a good time and were received very well.

Bro Michael Lampadarios (Founding/National President) also made a presentation to the then Grand Master MWBro Tony Laurer with one of the first Breast Patches made for the Association, as Patron of the Masonic Motorcycle Association of Australia (MMAA), at Lodge Wyong/Tuggerah Lakes.
