Summary of the
ROCHFORD MENTORS MEETING
held on Tuesday 4th May 2010
The Meeting was opened by Mike Fisher (Rochford Co-coordinator). He welcomed W.Bro. John Davies, APGM & Provincial Mentor and 12 representatives from Rochford Lodges, including a special welcome for the first time to our meetings for Brownswood Lodge No.4272. Apologies were received from 3 other Lodge Mentors.
The Initiates Guide Version 3 was reviewed the meeting agreed the contents and the Provincial Mentor agreed to arrange for the printing of a suitably sized booklet. In the meantime the Rochford produced Initiates Guide V.3 can continue to be distributed to our Initiates by the Lodge Mentor.
W.Bro. John Davies outlined the initiatives currently being considered by the Mentors Forum, including the provision of an Officers Guide.
The use of the Exit Form was discussed and in general the meeting felt that this was too late to affect most resignations, but that earlier intervention was more likely to succeed.
The Lodges differing Recruitment techniques were discussed, as was the approaches to Outstanding Fees, which proved most beneficial.
Another 'Freemasonry in the Community' or similar is being planned. The Lodge Mentors will be considering a Rochford Initiates Evening Get Together, with likely attendees being Provincial Mentor, APGMs, Lodge Mentors and of course the most important Initiates and Wives/Partners.
The next Rochford Lodge Mentors meeting is on Monday 25th October 2010 at 7.30pm in the Dining Room
