Open Days
 rovincial open days are to be held at the Branksome and the Shaftesbury Masonic Halls. They are aimed at encouraging members of the public to gain a greater insight into Freemasonry and develop a positive impression. An exhibition displaying the history of Freemasonry, Grand Lodge, famous Freemasons and Dorset Freemasonry will provide an illustrated account for visitors, and the Provincial Grand Master will answer any questions from members of the public during the open days.
Dorset Masonic Knowledge Quiz
Accolades from Brethren indicate that the Dorset Provincial Masonic Knowledge Quiz continues to provide highly entertaining and enjoyable evenings for participants and spectators alike. With the first round of heats completed, teams from eight Lodges are battling through semi-finals to secure a place in the final, to be hosted by last year’s winner, the De Moulham Lodge No. 1146. Exciting heats have witnessed high scores of 85%, with the youngest Brother to join Freemasonry in Dorset, and at 91-years the current eldest Worshipful Master in the Province as competitors.

Provincial Grand Chapter Meeting
The Dorset Provincial Chapter Convocation for 2010 will be held on Saturday 17th July at the Hamworthy Club, Magna Road, Canford Magna, Wimborne, commencing at 10.45 a.m. The move to this new venue will allow far more members of the Province to attend the meeting and lunch than the previous venue at Portland could accommodate. It is hoped that as many Companions as possible (and especially Chapter Principals, and new members who have joined the Order in the last year) will attend.
