April 2021 Edition

From the Editor

Welcome to the April 2021 edition of ‘The Second Rising’ where we can see the resumption in masonic meetings as no longer an imposible dream! We have so much exciting charitable and vounteering news so do, please, read on.

Please do get in touch with me if you have an article to contribute (they are always welcome) or would like The Second Rising to feature someting in particular. The earlier you can get me content, the better, and ideally not later than two weeks before the start of the month it is due. Feedback – postitive or critical – is always welcome!

The next edition will be published at the start of June and it would be great to have some news from lodges!

Very best wishes.
