Club Events:
Informal social get-togethers, group trips to Lodges and other sites of Masonic interest, to encourage their involvement within the fraternity. Aside from social functions, the Club acts as a representative body for the views of the younger generation of Freemasons. These views and further suggestions from Brethren within the Club are then referred to Provincial Grand Lodge through the appropriate channels.
The club was envisaged by our PPGM and brought to fruition in 2015. It was created for new masons (less than 5 years) and/or young masons (under 40) with a view to encouraging these members of the fraternity to form a network to support each other and for the group to encourage fraternal visits both in and outside the province.
It is with great pleasure to say the Dunckerleys continues to grow and become ever more involved in the province. In previous years the club was delighted to be able to support the PGM at Provincial Grand Lodge by providing the escort officers for those brethren receiving honours, promotions and appointments. Following the meetings the members are able to share some time together over a drink and discuss both the day's events and events that members would like to take place within the coming months. Outings discussed have been as varied as the Bristol Harbour Festival and the now famous Bristol Dragon boat race. As a result of these get togethers, the Dunckerleys have been supported the province at the Bristol Harbourside Festival, with a number of the brethren volunteering to cover either the morning or afternoon of the Saturday or Sunday. Following the Sunday event a few members were able to get together with some of their partners, and soak up the atmosphere amongst family and friends.
We have organised a wide range of functions. We have enjoyed a guided tour around Bath Masonic Hall, the home of one of the first theatres in the city, followed by lunch. Visits have included Filton Lodge of Fortitude in the Province of Gloucestershire as well as several of our own Bristol lodges of course!
In the coming months many members are looking forward to attending Bristol Masonic Society meetings to help in their daily advancement of Masonic knowledge.
As Freemasonry recently celebrated it's 300th year, we must look to the future, in which perhaps we will see more changes than we have in the previous 300. It is a given; the Dunckerleys members, both current and those yet to join, will be key to the onward success of our organisation.
If any of these activities are of interest to you, or you would like to support our Province more and you are new to Masonry, irrelevant of your age, or you would just like to find out more, please contact the club secretary by clicking 'Contact Us' in the menu above.
