THE LATEST FROM THE CONNAUGHT CLUB

Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest and largest non-religious, non-political, fraternal and charitable organisations.

Zetland Lodge actively supports Masonic charities and has also supported a number of non-masonic charities over the years

Delve into the rich traditions of Freemasonry as we gather to celebrate our shared values and principles

We meet at:
Freemasons’ Hall, 60 Great Queen Street, London WC2

The Kent Club for London Freemasons organises social events for Masons and their families.

Engage in enlightening discussions, partake in meaningful rituals, and forge lasting connections with fellow brethren

W Bro Anthony Muirhead – the Chairman of the Connaught Club – gives an update on what’s going on with the young masons in London.

At the time of writing, the Prime Minister has teased us with the prospect of a visit to a pub. As the Connaught Club is a predominantly social organisation (education through socialising), this is very welcome news. It’s just not quite the same thing on Zoom with a lousy internet connection. The Club committee is planning the calendar of events hoping that they won’t change drastically.
 
With the expected relaxation of the rules, the Club will be planning – in earnest – for several events to make up for lost endeavours. A ‘we’re-not-in-lockdown’ party is in the pipeline, and we are rescheduling our popular open reception. If they were not enough to be looking forward to, we should also be planning for our Christmas party. Watch out, Clubland!

I am pleased to report that the yearning for contact with people “in the flesh” has not dampened our members’ enthusiasm for the advancement of their masonic knowledge. We recently held an incredibly informative seminar on the Ancient and Masonic Order of the Scarlet Cord. We were delighted to be shown around the order by the Grand Summus, M Dist Comp Ian Currans and, perhaps a more significant accolade, Past President of the Connaught Club. He talked about the Order’s history and origins and explained the different grades conferred in the Order.

Lastly, the Club is preparing for our AGM in March. Virtual, of course, but I look forward to the evening nonetheless. I shall be stepping down as Chairman this year and am delighted to be handing over the Chairmanship to Bro Jack Thornborough. I shall be supporting the Club from the committee’s backbenches during my final – twilight – year as a Club member.
