Brethren & Companions of Wellington Group

You will be aware that the RW Provincial Grand Master has made it clear that he considers that the wellbeing of our Masonic Halls should be a principal focus for brethren and companions at this time, and in this context, and in view of the reducing Masonic populations in our cities generally, he believes that it would be beneficial to Liverpool Masonry, and to the lodges and chapters meeting at Hope Street in particular if he were to reconfigure the Group system in Liverpool, whereby those meeting at Hope Street, and those not, could be grouped together to better advantage.

At Hope Street in particular he believes that the Hall would benefit from the formation of a single, dedicated Group, led by a team whose interests and concerns are focused on and in that important building. He feels this would strengthen the identification of Hope Street Masons with their Masonic home, and contribute to its sense of future.

At the same time, the Liverpool lodges and chapters which do not meet at Hope Street will benefit from being grouped together in a more identified way as Liverpool lodges and chapters with their own Group identity and leadership.

Accordingly, from the meeting of Provincial Grand Lodge on 23 May 2011, those lodges and chapters in the present Liverpool Trafalgar, Wellington, Sandon and Gladstone Groups will be redistributed according to whether or not they meet in Hope Street. Those which do will come together to form ‘The Liverpool Group’, and those who meet elsewhere will form ‘The Liverpool Gladstone Group’.
