eing one of the premium new and young mason clubs in the English constitution, the Essex Cornerstone Club
has not used the suspension of masonic activity as an excuse to slow down or stop. The Club has been as busy
Bas ever, this is what has been happening in the last few months.
Socials
The club have spearheaded a programme of bi-weekly online socials across England and Wales. The aim of these socials
has been to connect new and young mason clubs together, share best practice and learn from the different quirks each
other has. These socials are also attended by special guests, where the likes of Dr David Staples – Grand Secretary
and Sir David Hugh Wootton – Assist. Grand Master have joined in. We’ve also had some fascinating insights into the
Shriners, the Museum of Freemasonry and much more.
Passport
The club has launched it’s ‘Masonic Passport’ which is free to all of
its members. This pocket-sized passport lists all Masonic centres and
Lodges in Essex and has been designed help encourage visitation
from young Essex Masons and to keep a record of those Lodges
they’ve attended as they journey across our Province.
Club centre reps
The following brethren will take up positions as Provincial centre
representatives:
• Colchester, Clacton, Wivenhoe area - Adam Mills
• Upminster & Hutton - Ian Graham & James Gatehouse
• Orsett &; Thurrock- Paul Carter
• Southend & Rochford - Adam Harvey & Liam Holmes
• Chingford & Loughton -David Wilder
• Chelmsford & Braintree area - Jack Saunders

They’ll be reaching out to Lodge secretaries and centre management to introduce themselves.
The role of these centre reps is to build a relationship with each Lodge in order to fully inform them on the purpose/aims
of the Club and support those Lodges who have members who are 40 years of age and under.
