📱 SEE OTHER LODGES PROMOTING THEMSELVES AND WONDER WHY YOUR LODGE ISN’T?

It’s time to take the reins. 💪

Social media is one of the easiest ways to showcase what your Lodge or Chapter is doing — but getting started, creating content and knowing what to post can feel like a challenge.

☕️ NORTH CENTRAL AREA – SOCIAL MEDIA COFFEE MORNING

📅 Saturday 28th November
⏰ 9:30 AM
📍 Wi******er Masonic Centre

Come along for a practical, hands-on session covering:

📲 How to create and manage a social media page for your Lodge or Chapter
📣 How to promote your meetings, events and activities
💡 Ideas for creating engaging content
💻 Bring your laptop and get practical support to start putting it into action

Don’t just watch other Lodges getting noticed — make sure yours is too.

Your Lodge has stories worth sharing, events worth promoting and a community worth showcasing.

Take the reins. Tell your story. Get your Lodge out there. 🚀

Appreciation post! 👏🏼🙌🏻

A breakfast meeting between the PGM, Jon Whitaker and Roger Maber at Swanwick Marina gave a perfect photo opportunity… seen with the Certificate of Distinguished Service to Hampshire & IoW Masonry awarded to Roger by the PGM during the July AGM at Freemasons Hall in London.

Roger has given outstanding service as Provincial Communications Officer over many years and still continues to support the Province in other capacities.

Congratulations Roger and thank you! 🫡
