Welcome
As Freemasons we must demonstrate that, having entered the fourth century of the existence of Freemasonry in this country, we are even more prepared than ever before to promote greater public awareness of the Fraternity, and continue to dispel the myths and fictions so often published by our detractors, usually through ignorance. We declare our membership of Freemasonry with pride, and are happy to illustrate the principles which guide our daily lives both within our Lodges and in the wider community.
This Web Site serves to aid us in achieving these aims. You are
welcome to browse as you wish, and to contact us should you have any
questions.

Freemasons' window on the world at The Royal Show
Warwickshire Freemasons are exhibitors at The Royal Show for the first time in its history when it opens from 3 to 6 July 2008 at Stoneleigh Park, the erstwhile home of Lord Leigh who was the Provincial Grand Master for the Province for 53 years from 1852 to 1905. We shall be occupying a stand at Block 17 on Avenue E No 7 next to the Sports Industries Federation. The opening times for the Show are: Thursday 3 July - Saturday 5 July: 9.00am - 7.00pm but there is no admission after 5.00pm; and Sunday 6 July: 9.00am - 5.00pm with no admission after 4.00pm. There are five car parks which are all free of charge.
Michael J Price CBE, the Provincial Grand Master for Warwickshire, says: "Since almost every country in the world is represented at The Royal Show this is a marvellous opportunity for Warwickshire Freemasons to tell the world about Freemasonry and the ideals and principles which we practise as well as dispelling the many myths and fictions that are published about us by the ill-informed from time to time. I am delighted that we have been able to secure a stand this year for the first time and one that is in such a prominent location. Although we will aim our message at members of the public I hope that I might have the privilege of meeting many Freemasons from all quarters of the globe."
Brethren of Warwickshire and their families will be particularly welcome to pay a visit to the Freemasons' Stand but we would hope that they will tell their friends and neighbours to come as well. posted 18/6/2008
Freemasons' Grand Charity reports on its activities
All Master Masons in England and Wales are members of the Freemasons' Grand Charity and through their Lodge annual subscriptions make a contribution of £13 each year to its funds. Brethren who wish to see how their money is spent should visit http://www.grandcharity.org/pages/annual_review.html where they can download copies of various leaflets and the Annual Review for 2007. They are well worth reading. posted 18/6/2008
