Can I please convey my thanks along with those of the Provincial Grand Master, for the entries into the Lecture Competition this year.
We were treated to 7 talks of considerable interest, and very wide scope. It makes us all enormously proud of Worcestershire Freemasonry knowing the range and breadth of talent within our Province. It is a shame in some way that one talk needed to be highlighted as "the winner" and this year was no exception.
After a great deal of debate and agonising, the judges felt that one talk was representative of how we all feel in these strange and trying times. It was therefore decided that JONATHAN SWIFT and his talk on THE ESSENCE OF FREEMASONRY was the entry that would be the winner for the 2021 competition. We look forward to hearing it again on Saturday on the Installed Masters Zoom meeting.
The Province would like to thank the Lecturers for their entries, all deserving of being heard many more times over the coming years, both in and around the province, All of this year's talks will be added to the list of talks available which is on the Provincial Website located on the Orators page.
