Snaresbrook Lodge

Every year in the Summer edition of Arena, we put together a current list of Special Interest Lodges and Chapters (SILCs).

 

The SILCs initiative has gone from strength to strength in 2023/4.

The last time we presented this list, there were only some 12-14 fully approved Special Interest Lodges; and Chapters were in their infancy.

Today, Brethren have over 80 SILCs to choose from – with Chapters well represented – either live or proposed, to enhance their enjoyment of Freemasonry. Please don’t hesitate to reach out directly to the key contacts (usually Secretaries or Scribe’s E) of these Lodges or Chapters – you will be warmly welcomed and they thrive on your participation. As with so much in the Craft, you’ll find yourself with yet more new like-minded Brethren.

Meanwhile, if you are in a Lodge which is to all intents and purposes becoming a SILC, get in touch with John Flain, who will be able to help you through a well-defined process for maximising the effectiveness of your Lodge. He can be found at surveying@johnflain.com
