Here is a link that I have found, looks pretty interesting. Actually I am aware that the Treasurer of my lodge is a member of the one assembly in Adelaide.

The Oeratives have approx 85 members in NZ, with Assembalges in Auckland, Napier, Wellington, Christchurch and Nelson. It was founded in the 1920s and consists of 7 degrees (4 "normal" and 3 higher).

The ceremony is based on the old "operative" masonic ceremonies as opposed to the "speculative", the candidate is made to represent the stone in various stages of preparedness. There is quite a lot of furniture and some interesting parts of the ritual. It appears to be growing quite rapidly worldwide.

I have an information pamphlet I can email anybody who is interested in this fascinating side degree.

Cheers
