PROTESTANT ALLIANCE FRIENDLY SOCIETY.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA

The Protestant Alliance Friendly Society of Australasia (PAFSA) was a mutual provident society of inter-
th
denominational Protestants who first established a presence in Western Australia on the 26 April 1892. This
came about when J.T. Iredale from Sydney arrived in the State with Regalia and Charter to empower J. Arnold,
a Bundaberg (Queensland) P.M. to initiate the inaugural meeting of the Society at Lodge No. 87 (forerunner to
City of Perth Lodge No. 1). Shortly thereafter Lodge No. 90 Pride of the West (which eventually became Pride
th
of the West No. 2) was commissioned in Fremantle on the 27 April, 1893. Initially PAFSA operations in
Western Australia were conducted under the auspices and imprimatur of the N.S.W. Grand Council. However,
in February 1896 a local State Grand Council was convened. Various local Lodges were subsequently
commissioned. Prior to the advent of Medicare, income protection and death benefits mutual aid societies,
such as the Western Australian PAFSA, played a significant welfare support and social focal point role in
Western Australia community life (Green and Cromwell, 1984, p. xiv).

The Maylands Loyalty Lodge No. 16 Lodge Collection (Acc. 5689A):

The records described in this collection specifically relate to the operation of the Protestant Alliance Friendly
rd
Society of Australasia (PAFSA) Maylands Loyalty Lodge No. 16 between its inauguration on the 23 February
th
1922 and its subsequent dissolution on the 20 November, 1998.

In December 1921 Victoria Lodge No. 3 (Subiaco) forwarded a listing of PAFSA members residing in the
Maylands area to Grand Executive Council of Western Australia to consider in the proposal to establish a new
Lodge. Grand Council deliberations and a request for other Lodges to submit lists of members residing in the
Maylands area resulted in the formation of the Maylands Loyalty Lodge No.16. The inaugural meeting was
rd th
conducted on Thursday, 23 February, 1922 at the Church of Christ Hall, 9 Avenue, Maylands. Deputy Grand
Master Williams presided over this inaugural meeting with the subsequent election of J.T. Magill as Worshipful
Master and W.I. Cooper as Secretary. Regular meetings were conducted at various venues including the
th
Presbyterian School Hall on 7 Avenue, Maylands Town Hall and Masonic Hall located on the corner of 9th
th
Avenue and Carrington Street. On the 27 July 1931 the Maylands Loyalty Lodge No. 16 assumed joint
ownership of the Maylands Friendly Society Hall in Caledonian Avenue. Meetings were conducted at this
venue till early 1943 when the facility was requisitioned by army for defense need. The Masonic Hall in
rd
Inglewood was used as an alternative venue until the 23 June 1950 when the Lodge meeting place reverted
to the Maylands Friendly Society Hall. The hall and adjacent block was purchased by the Independent Order of
Oddfellows (I.O.O.F.) in 1980. The IOOF undertook significant building renovations including the addition of the
two (2) additional Lodge meeting rooms. During the refurbishment of the Hall the Lodge meet in the Scout
Hall located on Birkett Street, Maylands. The Maylands Loyalty Lodge returned to the Caledonian Avenue Hall
th th
on 7 November, 1980 and continued to meet in Lodge Meeting Room Two (2) until it’s dissolution on the 20
November, 1998.

Various PAFSA members from the Maylands Lodge No. 16 served in official capacities on the Grand Council of
Western Australia including the following Worshipful Grand Masters E.A. Anderson (1943-46), W. Gunn (1960-
62), E. Taylor (1974-76), R.G. Taylor (1981-82), R.S. Cocks (1985-86) and Worshipful Mistress L.R.
Wrigglesworth (1983-1984). Additionally W. Gunn served as a past trustee and as did L.R. Wrigglesworth who
was serving as trustee at the time of the decommissioning of the PAFSA in Western Australia. The following
three (3) Lodge officers served as District Masters: E.A. Anderson, E.G. Taylor and K.D. Dancer. Past secretaries
in chronological sequence of the Maylands Loyalty Lodge No. 16 include W.L. Cooper, L.A. Morrison, H. Harvey,
J.L. Patterson, R.J. Lynch, A.E.D Jobling, J.S. Whyte, J.L. Patterson, H. Cant. E. Anderson, D. Stuart, F. Coles, W.
Gunn, K. Talbot, R. Illes and Mrs Beryl Dancer who was secretary from 1980 till the dissolution of the Lodge in
November, 1998.

 CIRCULARS
5690A/8 1961
General circular issued by the Grand Secretary Mapstone to the City of Perth Lodge
No 1. Secretary and other local Lodge secretaries. Content items include:
exhortation for increased local membership participation and social interactions
especially as some Lodges were experiencing significant membership declines – one
of suggested strategies to offset this membership contraction is a concerted
campaign to enroll children in the Protestant Alliance Friendly Society of Australasia
into full membership once they turn the age of sixteen (16). There is also an
explanation, (viz Special Funeral Fund) to account for a minor adjustment in the
forthcoming Quarterly Accounts. A B5 sized addendum affixed to the front page of
the circular – lists number of juvenile application forms received from the various
local Lodges.

 RETURNS
Financial (referred to PART A) and numerical returns (referred to as Numerical
Return PART B) of the Maylands Loyalty Lodge No. 16. Essentially they are
standardized annual reports detailing income and expenditures and overall
membership statistics. The original or copy of the returns was lodged with the
Grand Executive Council of Western Australia initially under the auspices of the
Friendly Societies Act 1894–1923, 1894-1939 and subsequently under revised
Friendly Society Act, 1894–1964. Overall it appears that the basic reporting
structure of the returns changed minimally over time. Reporting periods namely the
current conventional June to June timeframe for the financial year does vary
st
(typically reported from the 31 May of the year) in earlier returns (viz, 1934 –
1942).
