Potentate The Potentate is, essentially, the President of our Shrine Chapter and is elected annually by the shrine members to lead our efforts. He is responsible to the Imperial Divan for the proper government of his Shrine Chapter and to ensure that officers and nobles observe Shrine Laws and the By-Laws of his Shrine Center. He is also responsible for the appointment of certain Shrine Officers and Committeemen, as well as the oversight of the same. Potentate Les Dikes has been instrumental in promoting Shrinedom in Australia and has successfully contributed to the formation of a new temple. Leslie (Les) Dikes 2026 Born in England during the Second World War, his family moved to Kenya after the war ended. Les completed his education in Kenya and then began his two years national service in the Kenya Regiment at the age of 18. Whilst in the regiment he became a member of the boxing team and fought many tournaments on their behalf, winning more than his fair share. On completing his national service, Les and his older brother Sid, spent three years “in-country” working for the Wildlife Department trapping animals throughout East Africa, Uganda and the Congo for various Zoos etc around the world. In 1965 Les emigrated to Australia, settling in Victoria, where he worked for TAA (Trans Australia Airlines) until his retirement several years ago. Les became a Freemason in 1988, a member of the Holy Royal Arch (HRA) in 1997, a member of the Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite (Scottish Constitution) in 2003 and a foundation member of the Melbourne Shrine Club in 2010. He is the current First Principal of his HRA Chapter and the immediate Past President of Melbourne Shrine Club, having served in that position on three occasions. He is the ceremonial Potentate for the Melbourne Shrine Club Ceremonial Team and has travelled to Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales in that capacity to carry out the ceremony. Les has worked tirelessly within the Melbourne Shrine Club and as an executive member of Shriners Australia to promote Shrinedom across the continent with the goal us forming our own temple, which we have now done.

The Chaplain's Corner is a way to present the monthly greeting message from our Chaplain to the Nobles and members of our Shrine Center: "We kindly extend a warm welcome to all members and present The Chaplain's Corner, a monthly greeting message of love and worship of our creator. Chaplains Corner Welcome to the Chaplain's Corner is a way to present the monthly greeting message from our Chaplain to the Nobles and members of our Shrine Center: "We kindly extend a warm welcome to all members and present The Chaplain's Corner, a monthly greeting message of love and worship of our creator. 2025 Be Happy every Day! For the Lord has Done Great Things For Us! A father's love is powerful. A father's love is beautiful. A father's love is precious. A father's love is enduring. A father's love is comforting. A father's love is sacred. The Father's love is everlasting. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16 NIV ). See what great love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear Brothers, now we are children of God, and what we will have not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure (1 John 3:1-3 NIV ). You may have never known the love of your earthly father, and you may never know what it means to love like a father, but you can know the love the Father in heaven has for you. My prayer is that His love will become real in you. Fraternally Yours Chaplain
