South Australian Brother
Looking for a Lodge Visit and Cricket

I have received the following letter from a Brother in Australia. If
anyone can assist him with his request please email him at the address supplied.

Laurence Milton
Grand Secretary
Freemasons New Zealand

Dear Laurence -

I am DC of our local Renmark Lodge No 55 ( Sth Aust.) & Junior Grand Deacon in the current SA Grand Lodge Installing team .

In Late February or most likely mid March, 2009 I plan to visit New Zealand for 3 purposeses. One is to see some sights of your great Country, second is to visit a Masonic Lodge (prefer a degree working OR an Installation) & last but not least to see our Aussie cricketers play the Kiwis (prefer a Test).

The two Tests are played at Wellington; 19th-23rd Mar & 27-31st March at Hamilton. The latter is a slight preference. As yet I have not been able to find the One Day fixture, as I would like to see one on the South Island as I presume the weather is cooler down there.

My wife has not decided if she wants to go with me, but will do so by Xmas .

The purpose of this is to try & locate a Freemason who is keen on cricket & maybe attending one of the Tests. Is better going with company especially if I am on my own. The contact could help me find accommodation nearby Wellington or Hamilton Ovals, also to advise his nearby Lodge working .

I trust this is not inconvenient to you, but would greatly appreciate a Contact/s, or a capable Travel Agent - I have to book my accommodation & Air Fares + cricket tickets through somebody, it may as well be a local ?

Yours sincerely,
Alan SMITH
