Loyal Pride of Chinchilla's Oddfellows' Lodge

A dispensation was granted to the Oddfellows' Lodge at Chinchilla on 26 September 1907, making this organisation one of the oldest in the Western Downs.

In 1933, one of the lodge's members, J. P. Evans, was appointed grandmaster of Queensland.

The Manchester Unity Independent Order of Oddfellows was & is a fraternal order founded in Manchester in 1810. The organisation was set up to protect & care for their members & communities at a time when there was no welfare or national health service. The aim was, and still is, to provide help to members & communities when they need it.

Oddfellows' Lodges continue to raise money for local causes, & the society as a whole raises significant amount for charities.
