The annual meeting of Provincial Grand Lodge took place yesterday (30 September) at Freemasons’ Hall, London.
The Provincial Grand Master, Neil Connolly, said: “Brethren, as I look around at the faces in this splendid Temple, it is a genuine delight to see so many of you here today. Last year as I stood before you as your new Provincial Grand Master, we thought that we had put trying times behind us. “World events, the economy and the very sad passing of our Sovereign, Queen Elizabeth II, have continued to challenge us all,” he continued.
“New ideas and initiatives are always to be considered when responding to the influences that change brings upon us. However, we must remain cognisant of the principles of ‘unanimity and concord’ by continuing to strive to ensure that our Masonry remains fun and a haven from the distractions and pressures of modern life”.
“If not, it will lose its appeal and relevance to those who will become its future.”
