March 2025 – AGM Meeting (Date & Venue to be confirmed)

We’ve had a great time on the previous learning sessions and they have been very well received, looking at:

  • Working Tools of an Entered Apprentice Freemason,
  • a face-to-face practice session focusing on the Officers of the Lodge and the opening in the 1st degree,
  • and our most recent online session, on how we think, act, and behave as Freemasons in the world during Summer recess when there is less Lodge activity.

The online sessions are always recorded and we add them to the members area of the MLC Website so you can take a look if you missed them.

By popular demand we will be continuing them this year, after the Summer recess and into next year (2025). We have a list of ideas that have been put forward by the MLC Team and the membership but we wanted to give you the chance to put your ideas in here.

We run both Online (through Zoom) and Face to Face learing sessions and each of these give us all a great opportunity to learn from each other and, very often, the ever knowledgable W.Bro Philip Titterton.

Let us know if there’s a topic you think would be perfect for us to cover that you’d like to propose.

Invitation to the East Lancashire 2026 Festival Event

The following is a message from Eric Baker & Martin Van Der Zwan:

On behalf of the Area Charity Stewards, we are pleased to invite you to an exciting event in support of the East Lancashire 2026 Festival.

The event will be held on 22nd October @ 7PM at Hemsley House and is set to be a memorable occasion as we gather in celebration and support of our momentous festival.

The East Lancashire 2026 Festival promises to be a significant milestone for all East Lancashire Masons, and this event is an excellent opportunity for the all of the Masonic community to come together and contribute to its success.

We would ask that each lodge sends it’s own Charity Steward or a representive of the lodge if possible, but this event is open to all City East and West Masons.

Your continued support of our Masonic causes and dedication to charity is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to celebrating with you.

Please feel free to bring along other members who may be interested in joining us.

We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be a wonderful event in the lead-up to the East Lancashire 2026 Festival.
