Please may I welcome you into the Province from my Commissioned Office Bearers, Office Bearers and myself, the Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master and hope that you have the time to visit at least one of our eleven Lodges in our Province where you will be made very welcome as a visitor, after which I do hope that when you decide to leave, it will be as a friend with fond memories of a night well spent within this Province.

As Always

Bro. John F. Lamb - Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master

Hello everyone and welcome to this, the new PGL website. I was pleased to be in the early discussions and deliberations in carrying out the ground work in getting the project underway. Firstly, may I thank Bro. James Thom of the Lodge of Melrose St. John No. 1² for his hard work and professionalism in developing, planning and setting up the site.

Please use this site to obtain information regarding Provincial Meetings, Committee Meetings, Provincial Visitations, Installations and Meetings and all general Masonic Information & Communications, even information regarding the Provincial Calendar. Please use this as a two-way tool to ease the burden often associated with communication. Enjoy your surfing!!

Freemasonry Afloat	Derby Trip
In January our Provincial Grand Almoner, Bro Elliott Lewis, was Sailing the Seas on the Aurora but was still able to support Freemasonry. During the Cruise on the 24th February, a Drinks Reception was held for Brethren, their Ladies, Guests and Masonic Widows from which surplus funds realised were donated to the Captain's Charity and the Masonic Samaritan Fund. Click on the link below to see the Souvenir Programme Freemasonry Afloat	Bro. Philip Titley, Provincial Grand Treasurer, is attempting to arrange a visit to The Lodge of Repose No. 802 EC in Littleover in Derby further to an invitation from Bro. Jim Bell who is a regular visitor to our Province. The Lodge of Repose meets on the Third Thursday each month (with the exception July & August). Bro. Phil has suggested a visit in May would be good as most of the Lodges in our Province will have finished for the season. If you would be interested in visiting this Lodge please do not hesitate to contact Bro. Philip direct, thereafter, travel and accommodation arrangements can be made.
