This meeting will be at Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen Street, London WC2B 4AZ on Tuesday 24th March 2015, commencing at 5pm.

For more information please download the full document here New Website Address As you may have discovered, the old website address (www.antients.com) is no longer available to us due to the sudden closure of Lycos Europe. Our webmaster, Neil, is in the process of re-aquiring the address, but in the meantime we have decided to move the site lock, stock and barrel to our new address which is www.antients.org. Please alter your address books and links accordingly, and do please let your brethren know of the change.Regional Hubs It is with great pride that we have created dedicated pages for each of the Atholl regions. As these groups expand their activities and connections the web pages will grow and our aim is for the regional committees to use the hub pages as a way to connect not just within their own groups, but to the wider Atholl world.
All New History! Atholl is all about history, and with thanks to our resident historian Ray Sheppard, the new website is able to present much more of the fascinating background to the Antients. We will be continuing to add to these resources, so do keep coming back. And if you have anything to add for the benefit of your fellow Brethren, do please get in touch. CLICK HERE TO EMAIL

Do please feel free to download and share the newsletter with any Brethren you feel may find it of interest.

We would like to thank you all for your continuing support for the Association of Atholl Lodges.

| July 2005 ONE ATHOLL LODGE HAS SURRENDERED ITS WARRANT AND ANOTHER HAS MERGED IN 2005! Appeal - death of a Lodge - is fading into oblivion the natural course of Lodges? What is the answer to the questions "How do we preserve olde Lodges" and "How do we regenerate them?" The premise is that many Lodges are facing falling numbers, costs are increasing, the few members left are getting fewer as death in inevitable. London and the Home Counties are suffering more so than other regions in this respect. Can YOU give advice, ideas, solutions? What have YOU done to reverse this trend?
If you have any thoughts or opinions on these important questions, do please contact the Liaison Officer (CLICK HERE TO EMAIL) who will be more than happy to talk to you about them. Ph: 020 8658 9194 |
