Promoting the Fraternity across the World
The Board of General Purposes is proud to announce that the main London event celebrating 300 years of the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) will be held at the Royal Albert Hall in South Kensington on 31 October 2017.
The Classic 300 breakfast at Alderson House in Warwick on Sunday 3rd July attracted a splendid turn out with 30 cars and 8 motorbikes coming from as far afield as Cheshire and Leicester with strong representation from the four provinces working together on MFest. The weather was also kind making for a very pleasant event.
Provincial Grand Stewards’ Lodge hosted W Bro Ron Baker, whose presentation of the ‘History of Masonic Fire’ is both entertaining and noisy.
Ron demonstrated different methods of firing, inviting the master, W Bro Tony Putterill, his wardens and lodge members, suitably issued with firing glasses, to join in the fusillade. ‘North Devon Fire’ was particularly popular.
Tony used the opportunity to announce the launch of a new Bristol Blue firing glass; celebrating the Tercentenary of the United Grand Lodge of England next year.

To help celebrate 300 years of Freemasonry in England and Wales United Grand Lodge of England has licensed the production of polo shirts and caps bearing the special Tercentenary branding.
