Please note that due to a "corporatisation" approach by the United Grand Lodge of Victoria, individual lodge by-laws have been rescinded under new Rule 116, Schedule 12. All lodges under the Jurisdiction of the UGLV follow a basic corporate set of rules. To cover individual needs for any lodge, a lodge has a right to pass "Resolution(s)" for approval by Grand Lodge. These Resolutions once approved by Grand Lodge, the Lodge Secretary must keep a copy of the particulars relating to each Resolution in a "resolution" book.
For the Victorian Lodge of Research, a typical example of such a Resolution would be its right to have appended to the said Lodge, a Correspondence Circle. The Resolutions which will pertain to the said Lodge are being determined, and approval is to be sought.
To allow for more space to be employed for Education purposes (more papers), it has been determined that to publish Schedule 12 is not practical. Any brother wishing a copy of Schedule 12 should contact the Secretary;
