In our final episode for Season One, we are joined by W Bro Steve Ricks, Provincial Grand Learning & Development Officer.

Personal growth and development is a key pillar of freemasonry and there is nobody better for us to chat about this than to Steve. Steve has a long career in learning and has translated this across into his masonic career including being a founder member of Berkshire Lodge of Enlightenment.

Thank you to everyone who has listened and also to those who have provided feedback as we have taken the first steps on our podcast journey together. We look forward to continuing this into next year.

Steve & Matt

Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth - three fundamental principles of Freemasonry and three areas highlighted to us as we enter this wonderful fraternity.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into 'Relief' and are joined by Worshipful Brother, Mickey Labana, our Provincial Grand Charity Steward as we explore what is going on nationally and locally with masonic charities and how we all play an integral part.

We also look at how 'charity' isn't just about giving of money but also of ourselves and our time and Mickey highlights F.O.C.U.S - the 5 year strategy to highlight the good Freemasonry brings to society through our charitable efforts.

This episode sees us exploring the role of the Provincial grand Mentor, Lodge Mentors and Personal Mentors.

This critical aspect is at the core of Pure & Antient Freemasonry and is critical to the ongoing success and to enable the culture and environment for our organisation to thrive.

Joining us is the Provincial Grand Mentor, Worshipful Brother Owen Doe who offers us insight on what it means to be a mentor and how this intersects with a Lodge Care Team to provide the support that all Masons require from each other.

Today's episode is an insightful exploration of the links between Craft Freemasonry and the Royal Arch. In a discussion with RW Bro Anthony Howlett-Bolton, our Provincial Grand Master and Most Excellent Grand Superintendent, we discuss how one progresses in knowledge through the four elements of Pure and Antient Freemasonry.

In this month's episode we are joined by two incredible guests; Worshipful Brother David Jarvis, Past Junior Grand Deacon of the United Grand Lodge of England and Brother Malik Jallo.

We spend time looking at Freemasonry in the early 1970s when David joined and the differences and similarities to Freemasonry today and Malik's experiences as a relative new Freemason.

Our concluding part to our excellent interview with, Mark Wiltshire, Past Provincial Senior Grand Deacon on his experiences working with the Provincial Membership Team and in the growth of Hungerford Lodge - Enjoy!

In this episode, we hear from W Bro Mark Wiltshire, Past Provincial Senior Grand Deacon and a key contributor to the Province's Membership Team as well as a key member of one of the Province's most successful lodges, Hungerford Lodge on the importance of the Member's Pathway and how our Lodges can contribute to them thriving through effective use of all the tools it brings.

With a focus on attracting new members; engagement at all levels and excellent use of mentoring, all our lodges can thrive and look forward to many years to come.
