Hi everybody. my name is Bro Dave G Griffiths ROH. of the over Mountbatten Lodge 9801 northwich@district Province. I joined the order in 1966 in the Samuel Becket lodge of the Crewe and district province and wondering if other brethren had anyone had noticed how things had changed over the years. i think we have lost a lot of over the years ie we do have many lodges who have actually have a city minstrel who entertain the brethren. in liberty hall .I don’t think we let the public know how much we help the people in who are not in the order. I think if the people outside the order new how much we donate to causes outside the order we may more people interested in joining our great order. david.griffiths9023@virgin.net

Dear brother. I am a non compliant Brother from the reading and district province and I came across the grand lodge web site by chance I think it is a very good idea that our order has done this, as it might bring our work to help others into the public eye. with the possibility the this will encourage others to want to join our order. my mother lodge is the Adastral Keyser 4560 lodge of the Reading and District Province. I was raised to the 2nd and 3rd degrees in my mother lodge before family problems saw me leave our order. yours faithfully and fraternally bro Kevin moles KOM.kevin@kmoles0.wanadoo.co.uk.
