Forthcoming Education Events

Thursday 13th March
Speaking in public is a daunting prospect for most of us as we aim to adhere to all the protocols and formalities of a Lodge Meeting and the Festive Board. This new webinar: Masonically Speaking aims to guide brethren with practical tips on how to overcome the anxiety often surrounding this aspect of their masonic journey. The webinar is Free, commencing at 7pm and will last approx 40 minutes. Bookings can be made by contacting batter1@hotmail.com.
Saturday March 15th
A demonstration and the commentary of the First Degree. In trying to make sense of one’s initiation the Light Blues Lodge have kindly invited the Demonstration Team to deliver elements and embrace the commentary that complements the ritual. We will try to explain why we do & say things in that ceremony. In exploring what hidden mysteries are laid before us in plain view, we will accommodate any questions as they arrive.
Monday March 17th
Corinthian Lodge 1208 who meet in Dover will similarly be unravelling the ritual of the Second Degree with a commentary as in the First. Keen ritualists will have the opportunity to participate if they wish in what promises to be an evening of learning and fun. Anyone wishing to attend & dine should contact Ashley Brewin, The Lodge secretary on 1208.secretary@gmail.com. Anyone keen to deliver any of the ritual on the night should contact Steve Salisbury on batter1@hotmail.com
Thursday 20th March
Stour Lodge in Ashford have invited the Demonstration Team to deliver the First Degree with commentary to members of the Ashford Centre. The ritual is always slick and may provide ideas on how the workings and commentary might be moulded into members’ own lodges of Instruction to explore the explanation provided and discuss alternative interpretations. Anyone wishing to dine should contact the Lodge secretary Steve Ottewill on ottewill.steve@sky.com
Friday 21st March
Chelsea Lodge is one of the most renowned lodges in London. This entertainers’ Lodge meets in Great Queen Street and dines in the Connaught Rooms next door. We have managed to reserve 40 places and these will be reserved for the Light Blues. This tremendous opportunity would make a fantastic introduction to Grand Lodge if you haven’t attended before or a night of great ritual & Festive Board Fun if you have. The traditional toasts are observed and rather than a series of speeches several of the members perform slots as entertainment and you never know who will be there. Places include dining at £70 per head and bookings can be made through Steve Salisbury on batter1@hotmail.com
Thursday 27th March
Getting The Best out of Solomon. With the Solomon experience constantly evolving and offering a vast repository of materials, getting to know one’s way around the Solomon modules is increasingly important for those members keen to advance their knowledge of the craft & also for those who are guiding them. The introduction of the Solomon Academy and the introduction of AI has created another strand to the pace & depth of Masonic learning and research. This webinar aims to give practical advice on how to tackle this incredible tool. The webinar is Free, commencing at 7pm and will last approx 40 minutes. Bookings can be made by contacting batter1@hotmail.com.
