“Masonry – its music”
Bro Andrew Taylor will give a talk on ‘Music in Masonry’
with musical illustrations. Bro Andrew is a well known and respected musician
who has played for most lodges in the area at one time or another. He will
demonstrate the tunes and melodies used in our ceremonies and explain their
significance to our ritual.
“Harry Priestley House”
WBro Keith Marriott is secretary of the ‘Friends of Harry
Priestley House’. This is a local Masonic charity in Thorne which provides
sheltered housing for a number of children and relatives of Freemasons who have
special needs. It was established several years ago by Doncaster Masons who
continue to support its many activities. This is a chance to know more about
this worthy cause.
“Who are they?”
The Academy Co-ordinator, WBro Russ Jones, will explain ‘who
is who’ in the lodge, and why some aprons are dark blue with gold cord whist
others have a fringe. What is the significance of the round badges on
these aprons and what are the ‘collar’ jewels? Who sit where and why? Where can
a new mason sit? These and many more questions will be asked .... and answered.
