3. Frequently asked Questions
4. An example of a Lodge Data Protection Notice (if this notice is accepted the Provincial Grand Secretary will issue a form for each lodge)

It is considered acceptable to list members’ names on a summons, and contact details for members who may need to be contactable to carry out Masonic business i.e. Secretary, Treasurer, Almoner etc.  However it is not acceptable to have contact details on the summons for all members; this can be achieved by issuing a members contact list privately to all your lodge members.

Don’t forget to now use the new Form P, hard and electronic copies have already been circulated.
