The Five of Nine club invites members to engage in our organising committee, whether its visiting initiations to welcome brethren, or organising events, we need your help in making the club grow into a bigger and better version of itself. The more the merrier! We meet online every couple of months as a committee and welcome any member who wants to make a difference. E-mail secretary@fiveofnineclub.org.uk if you are interested in taking part.
The Committee
Chairman - Richard Freakley PProvJGD, Alma Mater Lodge
Richard was initiated into Alma Mater Lodge 1644, following a long line of family members to join Freemasonry. He recently served as the Worshipful Master of the Lodge for the third time. Richard is one of the presenters of “The Five of Nine Podcast” alongside W Bro S Phillips and W Bro James Dalton.
Deputy Chairman & Secretary - Charles Ingram ProvGStwd, Coventry Foundation Lodge
Contact: secretary@fiveofnineclub.org.uk
Charles was initiated into the Coventry Foundation Lodge 4543 in 2013. He served as its Worshipful Master for three years from 2019 to 2022, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Charles holds a doctorate from Coventry University and is passionate about performing arts and theatre.
When asked about Freemasonry, Charles said “Freemasonry has been incredibly welcoming and non-judgemental, which was incredibly important for a young man emerging in the world trying to figure out who he was at Twenty-One years of age. Joining my Lodge has allowed me to make friends with those I would have never been introduced to in my regular day-to-day, either because of age, location, profession, or personal interests.”
