The Northumberland Masonic Demonstration Team

How we got started.
Team members got together in late 2007 in order to raise funds in support of the Province’s 2009 Festival for Girls and Boys by learning and demonstrating an early nineteenth century Masonic first degree ceremony.
The first performance was given in May 2008. By the closing date of the Festival the team had given thirteen performances to Lodges and raised some £2,500 for the festival.
Having achieved its original intentions the members decided to continue but to broaden its charitable fund raising to also include support for non-Masonic charities.The reputation of performance soon spread well beyond the Team’s own Province and visits have now been made to Lodges in Scotland, Durham, Yorkshire, Great Queen Street and
Northern Ireland plus invitations to Wales and to Cumberland & Westmorland.
Having enhanced its repertoire to include a demonstration of a third degree many invitations have been received to return to Lodges who witnessed the first degree enactment.
