Hi Lnr,

I would make enquiries to the Manchester Unity to see if they can help. This might have been another name of the same or similar fraternity.
https://www.manchesterunity.org.nz/

Or perhaps not?
https://www.manchesterunity.org.nz/page/about-us

Or approach any existing Oddfellow Lodge still in existence.

There is this list at National Library. if you click on the first item (which won't help you as it relates to Wellington region) it suggests searching Tapuhi for other holdings.

lnr  ... have you asked at Christchurch Libraries ?   

If they don't have, they may still be able to assist with "other" places to look or search.

In Papers past -  Newspapers Star (Christchurch) 26 June 1890 Page 3 there was a heading for Cust Lodge under the headline I.O.O.F.
10 of the 56 then members are mentioned by name
 
In my experience IOOF lodges were usually part of the Grand Lodge IOOF Friendly Societies.
MUIOOFS (Manchester Unity Independent Order of Oddfellows Friendly Societies) were a different organisation.
There were also Masonic Lodges (The Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of New Zealand and  Foresters Lodges (The Ancient Order of Foresters Friendly Societies).

Lodges had an air of secrecy about their meetings rituals and membership but funeral notices and some meetings were often in Newspapers.
