scotty The Canberra Scottish Thistles paid a visit to Lodge Baddeley on Saturday 19th June to carry out a 3rd degree ceremony. The Candidate was Bro Marcello Alvez, a member of Lodge Perfect, Canberra, and he was supported by a fraternal group headed by the Lodge Senior Warden. Brethren from Lodge Bega Remembrance and Pambula Daylight also attended. The standard of work carried out was excellent and the Candidate demonstrated that he will be a great asset to the Fraternity.

Some 50 Brethren and their ladies enjoyed a wonderful Festive Board which made it truly a night to remember, especially for the Candidate.
