Would you like to be involved in running the Province?
Have you got a little bit of spare time that needs filling?
If the answer to these questions is yes, then you've come to the right place. Your Province needs you! We are looking for West Wales Brethren who would like to be involved with the production of this newsletter, help with the West Wales Mason Magazine, help with the running our social media accounts, or the looking after of our website, or get involved with organising special events and other one off projects. You don't need any experience (full training will be provided). You don't need to have been through the Chair or to be a senior mason. All West Wales Brethren are welcome to apply to become involved and if you can help in more than one of the areas outlined above, that will be very well received indeed. If you are interested, please contact:
The Provincial Assistant Secretary, Tony Trumper at asec@wwmason.com in the first instance.
