Chairman - W Bro Richard Freakley
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 Sean P and W Bro James Dalton.
Secretary - W Bro Charles Ingram
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.”
Treasurer - Bro George Webbon
George was initiated into Stivichall Lodge 5799 in October 2019. George is an airline pilot originally from Windsor, now living in Warwickshire. George’s interest in Freemasonry was sparked by his father who joined the Craft in the 1970s and recently served as the Worshipful Master of Stivichall Lodge.
When asked what he has learned since joining Freemasonry, George said “Since joining Freemasonry, my confidence has grown when it comes to presenting. Learning ritual and “performing” during our meetings has been a wonderful and rewarding challenge. “
COMMITTEE Member - Bro Greg Sangster
Greg was initiated into Stivichall Lodge 5799 in April 2018. Greg’s interest in Freemasonry came, as in many cases, from a conversation over a beer with a good friend. After visiting Coventry Masonic Hall for the Heritage Open Day and doing some further research - Greg decided that Freemasonry was for him. Greg is currently the Assistant Secretary of his Lodge and has recently completed his Third Degree ceremony. Outside of Freemasonry Greg is a sign writer and also founding member of a band that is, appropriately, called “The Third Degree”.
