Hope Lodge is holding it's Installation Saturday March 5th Tyling @ 3.00pm followed by a dinner at RSL Allora. Covid Virus has disrupted Lodge meetings as many other things. It's pleasing to note that we have three brethren wishing to affiliate with Hope Lodge many small country Lodges struggle to attract younger men to join ,that's seems to be a sign of the times. Our Lodge was called the Hope of Allora 2479 EC and was consecrated 11th September 1891, when the United Grand Lodge of Queensland was formed the Lodge became Hope Lodge 72.
