Are you from a Military or Warranted Blue Light Emergency Services background and are already in the Royal Arch?, if so then this may be of interest to you..!
Following on from the success of Combined Services Lodge, as we enter our eleventh year, we are planning on forming a new Royal Arch Chapter.
Although the Lodge will adopt the Combined Services name and number, membership will be open to all those with a Military or Warranted Emergency Services background, both from within the Province and without. This will provide an excellent opportunity for likeminded Military and Emergency Services Brethren to enjoy their Royal Arch Masonry. Our initial plans are to exalt members of CSL 9900 who are not Royal Arch Masons to take their next step and discover the genuine secrets of a Master Mason in an environment with like-minded Service individuals. We will of course look to extend this at the right time and in the right circumstances. The key aim at the moment is to create a unique chapter for those members who are already Royal Arch Masons.
The aim of the new Chapter is to combine the ethos of the Military and Emergency Services into the Masonic fabric of Chapter, which should make for a unique experience for all involved.
Therefore, with the support of the MEGS and rest of the Berkshire Royal Arch Executive, the new chapter has a provisional go ahead for consecration on the 30th of June next year at Sindlesham.
If you have served or are serving in any of the above and are already a member of the Royal Arch, there is still time to get involved and become a Founder.! We will look to hold a call before Christmas – please take a few moments to fill out the short form or send myself or Jamie Ingham Clark an email.

In order to be as inclusive as possible Founders costs will be kept to a bare minimum.
Just a reminder, the intention of this new Chapter is to augment any existing RA Chapter you are a member of, and not to replace your membership of that Chapter. At this stage we are not looking for expressions of interest outside of Combined Services Lodge Master Masons. But you should already be in a Chapter. Equally, if you are a Royal Arch Mason who is currently ‘unattached’ to a Berkshire Chapter and meet the Military or Emergency Services criteria, and want to reengage your Royal Arch membership, we would love to hear from you.
We already have a strong expression of interest from members of Combined Services Lodge but are conscious we can’t do this on our own, so please get in touch and get involved.
Fraternally
