                                                         The Provincial Membership Team held an important
                                                         event at Braintree Masonic Centre on 27th November
                                                         2021. Nearly 70 Brethren listened as Daniel Broyd, Group

                                                         Kelvedon Masonic Centres, outlined what has changed
                                                         and  how  the new  UGLE  Members’  Pathway  can  help
                                                         Lodges grow and thrive.
                                                         Daniel Broyd also explained how the new Members’ Pathway
                                                         is  successfully  progressing  in  Essex  and  elucidated  the  key
                                                         messages of:
                                                         •      Lodge planning,
                                                         •      Attracting new members,
                                                         •      Engaging with existing Brethren and
                                                         •      Retrieving inactive Freemasons.
                                                         Provincial Grand Master (PGM), Paul Tarrant and Deputy PGM,
                                                         Nick Franklin, were among the Brethren at the event which
                                                         included a presentation, smaller group discussions and a Q&A
                                                         session.
                                                         The Provincial Membership Team was there to answer questions.
                                                         Afterwards the Team hosted nine potential new candidates with
                                                         light refreshments, a tour of the temple, followed by an informal
                                                         discussion about the Craft and what Freemasonry represents.
                                                         All prospective candidates from these events and those referred
                                                         from  UGLE’s  National  Digital  Marketing  Campaign  are  being
                                                         aligned to Lodges that have signed-up to the new Members’
                                                         Pathway. More events for Lodges are planned for Chelmsford,
                                                         Chingford, Colchester, Southend and Upminster.

       Brian Chenier, a GMO, was emphatic the event was a great success. Leading from the front he immediately returned and
       put up a Provincial Membership Team poster on his Colchester Masonic Centre’s notice board. Brian then reported to
       the Brethren of Colcestria Lodge No. 7123 meeting that evening saying “It was extremely pleasing to see the enthusiasm
       of all those who attended and the support from the very top which is appreciated. I will do my best to help our Lodges
       attract and benefit from more members.”
