QC Summer Update

QC Correspondence Circle
Member Update, 4 August 2019

Dear Member,

At this time of year we should look back and reflect on what has been an exceptional twelve months, and thank you for making it so. Members of QC Lodge have spoken nationally and internationally, not only in the UK and US but also across continental Europe, East Asia, and Australian and New Zealand. It has been a pleasure to meet with and get to know so many members of QCCC.

The feedback from our North American Conference in Alexandria was so positive that a follow-up Conference has now been organised. This will take place at the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts in Boston from 18–20 September 2020. The theme is ‘Freemasonry on the Frontier’, and preliminary details and a booking form are available on the QC website. The line-up of speakers is world-class and includes Bob Cooper, Curator of the Grand Lodge of Scotland; Brent Morris, editor of Heredom; Mike Kearsley, the ANZMRC and Prestonian Lecturer; Ric Berman, Master of QC and Prestonian Lecturer; Walter Hunt, Grand Historian of the GL of Massachusetts; Andreas Onnerfors, the incoming Master of QC and an Associate Professor at the University of Gothenburg, and other leading national and international speakers. The Conference will be enormous fun and all members are welcome and encouraged to attend.

The QC website continues to be upgraded and, as most members are now aware, subscription renewal is far easier than before, with a continuous payment option for members who pay by credit card. Simply tick the relevant box when renewing. UK members can also pay via direct debit. Your personal subscription account can be accessed online but if you have any difficulty, please let us know at subscriptionsmanagement@warnersgroup.co.uk with a copy to queries@quatuorcoronati.com so that we can follow up on your behalf. Virtually all members have now renewed but if you are one of the few yet to do so, please log on before the end of the membership year!

QCCC is an international association and membership is not just a matter of receiving AQC annually. Please take the opportunity to get involved in our activities by submitting papers or book reviews for publication, or by attending our meetings, conferences, and symposia and lectures. And do please act as ambassadors for QCCC by wearing the QC tie, lapel pin and breast jewel, and by acknowledging those who do.

Have a happy summer,

With our warm regards

Ric Berman & James Campbell
