Dear Sir & Brother,

After due consideration, The Most Worshipful Grand Master has deemed it appropriate for our Institution to create mailing lists for Brethren who would like to receive communications (Decrees, Resolutions, letters etc.) issued by The Grand lodge of Spain directly, without passing through intermediaries, and so be able to be kept fully inforned of everything that goes on in our Order.

ADDRESS BY THE PROVINCIAL GRAND MASTER AT THE PROVINCIAL ASSEMBLY 26th FEBRUARY 2011

Most Worshipful Grand Master,

Right Worshipful Assistant Grand Master

Right Worshipful Brethren of the Grand Lodge of Spain,

Provincial Officers of Valencia,

Distinguished Representatives of other Orders,

Illustrious Visitors,

Dear Brethren and Friends all,

Freemasonry has been active in the Province of Valencia since the 1980's. Today there are approximately 570 members meeting in 25 Lodges across the Province. We are constitutionally part of the Grand Lodge of Spain.

Due to the cosmopolitan makeup of the Province, which stretches from the southern border of Cataluña in the north to the northern border of Murcia in the south, (please see map in 'Where we meet' there are masons from many countries attending Lodge Meetings. The meetings are therefore held in a variety of languages including Spanish, English, German and Dutch, depending on the Lodge. Most of the Lodges work in Emulation although there are three that work in Scottish rite.
