District 31
District 31 or the old District 22 to those who have been around for a while has seen many changes over the years. Most changes have been the Consolidation of Lodges and the Consecration of new ones.

The Most recent Change was the Consecration of the Cedars Lodge 1041. This saw the main room at the Punchbowl Masonic Temple over crowded with Masons who gathered for the Consecration and Installation Ceremony. To give an idea of the numbers, the East was filled with the Grand Lodge Team, North, South filled with Brethren and rows of chairs where the Stewards would normally sit were filled from about a metre from the Senior Wardens Chair in the West and nearly covering all the Mosaic Pavement.

The next change in the District will be a changing of the guard for the District Grand Inspector of Workings. RW Bro Graham Painton DGIW will be succeeded by W Bro Malcolm Edwards.

The DGIW's spiel will be added to this page soon.
