Preparing for Office: The Master's Chair Course

Attendees Comments 2006

Thank you very much – A really good guide and preparation. Very Thought provoking. I will probably come back with other questions over the coming months.

Peter Browning, SW - St. Bartholomew Lodge No. 6307

Very Good and Very Interesting.

Paul Tomlinson, SW - Loyal Berkshire Lodge of Hope No. 574

Thank you all very much. All the speakers were very creditable, professional and approachable. I would not hesitate in recommending it.

Richard Nixon, JW – Etonian Lodge of St, John No. 209

Very Good overall – Will I am sure be of benefit.

John Jackson, JW – Embrook Lodge No. 8786

I am pleased that I attended this course. I certainly have a much better idea what is expected from a Master and how I can make the year interesting and successful.

Amrik Sohal, SW & ME – Morland Lodge No. 3066

Excellent course. Only observation is that the blue leaflet should not say course is from 19:30 to 21:30, as these usually finish 22:00 – 22:30. (Necessarily so). The efforts of the distinguished brethren are most appreciated, as being in your own spare time and unpaid you exemplify the spirit of Freemasonry. Thanks.

Aaron Lawson, JW – Heather Lodge No. 3131

Very useful and worth while. Will be of great benefit.

Don Scott, SW – Sindlesham Lodge No. 8293

For the second year I found it very informative and will avidly read the notes before I get in the Chair. (If elected.) [Note against Balloting – Eye opening. Sec.]

Ian Addison, SW – Etonian Lodge of St. John No. 209

A very good course. Well worth attending. Thank you.

Dave Adams, SW – Kendrick Lodge No. 2043

A very well constructed and organised course. Presentation very good. Lecturers excellent.
I am sure that attending this course will result in me having a more satisfactory and enjoyable year as Master. A must for all candidates for the Master’s Chair.

Raymond Twyford, SW – Loddon Lodge No. 3427

Without exception the presentations have been excellent and the advice imparted very relevant. I’m just a year away from the Master’s Chair (assuming the progression process goes unhindered) and I would not have liked to take over that role without the benefit of this course. Many thanks to all the speakers for their obvious commitment to this course. Unfortunately I shall not be in a position to attend the remaining two nights, but I would welcome the speaking notes for the complete course.
[Papers for last two sessions have been sent. Sec.]

Steve Morant, JW – Portcullis Lodge No. 6672

Excellent course.

Henry Wade, Steward – Loddon Lodge No. 3427

A very informative course. It made me aware of the fact that the Master’s work entails more than learning the ritual. The topics covered were presented in a format that I found easy to understand and absorb. Many thanks for all the information available by way of the notes, it saves a lot of time spent trying to decipher my scrambled jottings.
