The Burleigh Heads
Royal Arch Chapter meets at the Burleigh Heads Masonic Centre,
6 First Ave Burleigh Heads,
at 7 pm on the Fourth Thursday of each month except December.
If you have been a Master
Mason for at least 12 months and have current membership of a Craft
lodge, you may be accepted as a Royal Arch Freemason and membership of
a Royal Arch Chapter is also a prerequisite for joining a number of
other Masonic Orders.
Becoming a member of the Holy
Royal Arch gives a member access to a number of degrees within the
Chapter without the need to pay additional fees or purchase extra
regalia as this is provided by the Chapter, to be worn on the occasion
that each of the respective degrees are worked.

the Royal Arch Chapter and the order in which they are received are:
1. Mark Master Mason
