About Aorangi Chapter

Today the Chapter meets in the Masonic Lodge Rooms in Johnsonville. The Chapter is a dining chapter and at the end of its meetings the Companions sit down to a two-course meal in the refectory. It is an opportunity to enjoy the company of the members and visitors with great conversation and formal and not so formal toasts.

Aorangi Chapter has fifty members who come not only from Aorangi and Wellington Lodges, but from a number of the New Zealand constitution Lodges in Wellington.

The Chapter enjoys a close fraternal relationship with the United Manawatu Royal Arch Chapter No 1721 in Palmerston North and with the Waterloo Russell

Chapter No 2, a Wellington based New Zealand Chapter.
