While Australia has been relatively fortunate in dealing with the global pandemic of 2020, one of the less desirable outcomes was the need to postpone the 2020 National Chapter owing to the COVID-19 virus travel restrictions. Almost exactly 12 months later, this meeting was again organised by the Victorian Commandery amid continuing significant constraints relating to the number of members who may attend a particular event. This had ramifications for the choice of a central venue hotel and transport arrangements. No social events, other than two dinners were able to be organised, nor any local sightseeing trips. Only the meetings necessary for the ongoing function of the jurisdiction, the Vigil Service and the Investiture were possible on this occasion.

At a National Investiture Service held recently, a special Grand Bailiwick Award for Courage was given to a youngster who selflessly risked his life to save people from drowning.
This is the first time that such recognition has been given by our Order in this country.
