Last Wednesday saw Buckinghamshire install their new Provincial Grand Master, RW Tim Anders.  A very important event for any Province as it only occurs once every 7~10 years.

Over 500 Freemasons from Buckinghamshire and across the country assembled in the Grand Temple of Freemasons Hall London to welcome the PGM Designate and his Provincial Officers.  The Past Assistant Grand Master was there to oversee and lead the ceremony with his Grand Officers. 

While the ceremony was taking place, a small group of newer Buckinghamshire Freemasons had a private tour of the museum, building and various temples within, something that has never been carried out before.   As a province we are proud to try something new, but also involve as many as we can in special events like this.

Once the ceremony was completed, everyone attended the Grand Connaught Rooms for a formal Lunch, a dining room packed with members celebrating the day and the start of a new Provincial Grand Masters tenure.

Today Buckinghamshire install their new Provincial Grand Master – WBro Tim Anders.

Over 500 Buckinghamshire Masons will be attending the grand ceremony at Freemasons Hall to witness this once-in-a-masonic-generation event, happening every 7~10 years.

Not only will there be a new PGM, but also a new Assistant PGM, WBro Bill Smithson being promoted at this fantastic event.

In true Buckinghamshire style, something different is organised for today, with newly admitted Masons attending the day, but as they cannot be part of the ceremony in the Grand Temple, a private tour has been arranged for them to include the museum, various temples throughout the building and the hall itself, before joining all for lunch in the Grand Connaught Rooms to greet the newly installed Provincial Grand Master.

Tomorrow morning, Buckinghamshire Freemasons will see the provincial leadership handed over from John Clark to Tim Anders.
We would like to thank John for his seven years of dedication to the Hallstone Province of Buckinghamshire. John has led us with pride and experience, fostering unprecedented growth and innovation in Freemasonry. During his tenure, our membership in Buckinghamshire has grown significantly as more people discover the joys and benefits of Freemasonry.

John's demonstrable commitment to moving ideas forward into action has forged a sense of resilience, hard work and vitality in our province. John encouraged us to create memorable Masonic experiences through initiatives like Project Transform, BIG 100, BIG 1-2-3, 12DX, and the Festival Fortnights. These events will be cherished by many young Freemasons as their first incredible step into Freemasonry.

John reminded us of the importance of preserving the traditions and values passed down by our founders as we move forward. The four guiding principles of integrity, friendship, respect, and service are the foundations upon which we stand. At the same time, John encouraged us to reinterpret these traditions courageously in the context of the modern era.

Mission accomplished, Skipper.
