From the Web Editor

The New Provincial Website is now 6 months old. If you have been a regular reader of the news items, I hope you have found them interesting and informative. If you haven't read any of the stories and articles, please may I invite you to do so as i am sure there is something to be found in the content which could be of interest to every Wiltshire Freemason.

The Website content is an eclectic mix of interesting facts, informative notices and incisive articles. For instance, did you know that 2017 Festival, under the Chairmanship of the Deputy Provincial Grand Master is going to be launched at Provincial Grand Lodge on 4 October 2012 at Salisbury. It will be an amazing event, with lights, fireworks, spectactular effects and much more - I know this to be true because the Provincial Grand Master told me. No pressure for Peter then!

Your support for the Festival is absolutely essential. Please don't just give a few pounds and think 'that's me done' - the fun in fundraising is to be found in being part of the process, from start to finish. Even if the event raises £50 or a £100 the main objective is that Freemasons have fun in fundraising. 

Information is found in the Events Calendar which advises the dates for all Provincial Craft and Chapter meetings, in particular Lodge and Chapter Installations. Click on the calendar item and read more detail about the event. If your Lodge has a special event which you want mentioned in the 'Event Diary' please contact me and let me have the details.

At the top of the page there is a 'moving gallery' - watch out for changes to the pictures and see if you can spot the promotion for special events such as the forthcoming Festival launch Dinner at Wellington Barn, Calstone Nr Calne on 27 October 2012.  Details can be found on the Festival Events page.

If you have an event you want publicised, let me know.

News items are added regularly and remain on the site for 4 weeks and sometimes longer. If your Lodge or Chapter has a story please send it to me for inclusion on the NEWS page.

The Provincial Grand Master recognises other Masonic Orders in the Province and you are invited to view details on 'Masonic Orders Beyond The Craft'

Please don't forget - this is YOUR Website - I am very happy to talk to your Lodge about the development and ongoing purpose of the Website and am always happy to hear the views, criticisms and contributions from Members. Good browsing !!
