This book contains a series of well researched short talks on the Allied Masonic Degrees. Ideal for performance in Councils to provide educational material on the Order in an easily-assimilated form.

Each chapter is presented as a stand-alone 'delivery version' and is complete in itself. Making it ideal to read in a meeting where there is no ceremony to be performed or for study at home.

Some chapters also contain detailed material in the form of annexes, which contain more extensive supporting detail that could facilitate further investigation.

In the final part there are a number of orations delivered at the consecration of Allied Councils which illustrate different interpretations of the Order by the Consecrating Grand Chaplains.

Extensive footnotes are included where appropriate to assist in answering questions, thorough references, a select bibliography and an index are also provided to assist brethren who wish to carry out their own research into the Allied Order.

Aby passed to the Grand Council Above on 30 July and was laid to rest on 31 July.

Aby loved his Allied Freemasonry, and he emulated our truly noble Masonic virtues in his travels through life. An expert ritualistic and always willing to lend a hand at short notice, he will be missed by all his Allied brethren and all those whose lives he touched.

Requiescet in pace, Aby.

The New Members' Dinner, hosted by the District Grand Prefect, started with a drinks reception at the City University Club followed by lively conversation and laughter over a delicious meal.

The District Grand Prefect went on to explain his vision and strategy for the Order in London, and the solid progress that the District is making. There was also a special reference to the Council of Improvement, where the DGP encouraged all the new and old members of the district to attend.

A Q&A session followed from the new members, and afterwards formally closed the dinner by thanking the organisers and everyone for making it such an excellent evening, which ended with much conviviality - and a few more drinks!

New Year Message 2019

Greetings and best wishes to you and your families and friends and I hope and trust that a healthy and happy New Year awaits us all.

Christmas has only just left us - the last of the turkey has been turned into a fine curry, there is still wine in the garage, a good amount of cheese left over and memories by the sleigh-full.  What more could a chap want?  Now our thoughts turn to the impending New Year - always a time of contemplation for both a reflection of the past and a promise for the future - and in masonry, particularly our Allied Masonic Degrees, this is very true.

We have had a really happy and successful year in London Allied and the future for us is very bright – plenty of good meetings for us to meet with friends, social events, ritual to learn – OK, so some of it takes effort, but it is so worth it!!

There is much that will test our country and our society in this year to come but if everyone can learn some of our Masonic principles such as – tolerance, integrity, fairness, loyalty and commitment then all will be well. Let us show them how to do it in our daily lives and some of it will rub off.

I look forward to seeing all of you during the year to come, I look forward to being in your company and I look forward to our AMD growing in strength and happiness.  Bring on 2019.

Best wishes to you all.

Colin
