Training, Lectures and Mentoring Programmes

Mentor Scheme Seminar
Each Lodge is expected to appoint a Lodge Mentor, an experienced member who will appoint Personal Mentors to look after the development of new recruits and other members who may need support. Once or twice a year a seminar is held to support new and existing Lodge Mentors. The next available Seminar is listed in the Diary Dates

Preparing for the Masters’ Chair Seminar
The prospect of becoming Master of the Lodge can generate a range of questions and concerns. The workshops for aspiring members have proven to be most helpful in clarifying the role, alleviating anxiety and boosting confidence and enthusiasm. Attendance is open to any Lodge Officer who aims to progress to the Chair. For further information or to book a place, please contact the Provincial Education Officer, Brian Rushton. The next available Seminar is listed in the Diary Dates

Seminars on other topics
Suggestions for topics are always welcomed and should be forwarded to the Provincial Education Officer, Brian Rushton

Orations
All Lodges should try to include an Oration in their annual programme. It provides an opportunity to consider aspects of our ritual in more detail and to reflect on its meaning and significance to us as individual masons. Orations are not simply a means of completing the annual programme when there is no Candidate's ceremony but more a complement to the work of the Lodge and an extension to a Mason's knowledge, be he senior or junior. Please follow this link to the Provincial Orator's page.
