Membership Action Plan
The Members’ Pathway team is currently collecting examples of how lodges have attracted, introduced and encouraged potential new members, whilst at the same time retaining and adding value to the existing membership.
These examples will be published here to recognise the great work done throughout the Province and to help provide inspiration to other Lodges.
If you have any suggestion of strategies, events or training that have produced positive results for your Lodge please share them with the Provincial Pathway Team.

The Members’ Pathway
Getting Started
Welcome to the Members Pathway pages of the Provincial Website. We plan to build a resource for our members to assist you in your endeavours towards “Attracting Members – Growing your Lodge”.
We will aim to add resources which will help your Membership Team to understand your Lodge, and its needs, and suggest ways to engage your Membership in the life of your Lodge.
The Members’ Pathway provides a toolkit of good practice for Brethren to use in their Lodges and is a continuous process of Lodge Planning, Membership Attraction, Engagement and of Lodge Re-Engagement. It is a suite of ideas which have been developed from good practices already in operation across UGLE and seeks to provide tools to allow us to Attract Members and Grow Lodges.
The key to successfully using the Members’ Pathway in your Lodge is to establish a Lodge Membership Team so that, as a group, you can work to Engage and have fun with current members, work to retrieve those members whose attendance may have lapsed or might have left but could potentially be encouraged back if his or the Lodge circumstances have changed and by reviewing and learning how your Lodge works best.
Your Team may consist of your Lodge Membership Officer, Lodge Mentor, Lodge Almoner, the Secretary and Director of Ceremonies. This however is not a complete list of those who may need to be involved and the most successful Lodges seem to be those who involve the whole membership in their decision making.
Any Brother can access the Members’ Pathway via the b.ugle website which can be used as a resource or library of information to help you in achieving your goals as a member. There are many resources available to assist you, but we would suggest the key ones are the following;
