We feel we really need to take this late opportunity to remind all brethren that at the GALIM meeting this coming Friday 14th June (18:30 Start), we are honoured to have back VW. Bro. Dr Ric Berman PGSwdB joining us once again to give a lecture. This lecture is entitled “The Second Grand Lodge: The Grand Lodge of Ireland, the London Irish & Antients Freemasonry”.
Dr Ric Berman has agreed to extend the invitation to all Mason’s INCLUDING Entered Apprentices and Fellowcraft which is a unique opportunity for the Guernsey and Alderney Lodge of Installed Masters. We encourage all those who are able to come along to what promises to be an excellent and informative evening.
If thats not enough we shall be holding a raffle!
AND if that wasn’t enough there will be an opportunity to purchase VW. Bro. Dr Ric Berma’s book “The Second Grand Lodge” for the sum of £10, on which the lecture is based. He will also sign a copy and all funds raised from the sale will go to charity.
Dr Richard (Ric) Berman is the author of ‘The Foundations of Modern Freemasonry’, first published in 2011 and now in its second edition; ‘Schism’ (2013), a study of the origins of Antients Freemasonry and its conflict with the first Grand Lodge of England – the Moderns; and ‘Loyalists & Malcontents’ (2015), which traces the origins of freemasonry in America’s Deep South. Ric holds a Masters in Economics from the University of Cambridge and a Doctorate in History from the University of Exeter. He continued his research at the University of Oxford’s Modern European History Research Centre as a Senior Visiting Researcher and as a Visiting Research Fellow at Oxford Brookes University. His main areas of study are eighteenth-century British, Irish and North American history. He is the Prestonian Lecturer for 2016.
If you are interested please talk to your Lodge Sec immediately.
We look forwards to a bumper turn out for this event!
