Frequently asked questions
Can I book a photographer for an event?
Photography is commissioned internally by the Communications Team. You are welcome to take photographs yourself, and post them to the Provincial Facebook Group.
Can Communications make a video for me.
Videos are commissioned internally by the Communications Team. You are welcome to create your own video, but this may not be used, especially if it is for external consumption.
I am undertaking an Individual Challenge for the Festival. How can the Communications Team help?
These challenges can be highlighted in the Provincial Post if you send in a relevant photo and some background information. You are welcome to post to the Provincial Facebook Group as you wish. It is better to start by talking to the Festival Committee first by completing the following form: https://bit.ly/3ZRHkr5
Who is responsible for taking photos at an event?
This is the responsibility of the Lodge to organise. The Communications Team will usually take charge at Provincial Grand Lodge, Provincial Grand Chapter and visits by the Acting Officers. Arrangements should be made beforehand with and within the Lodge / Chapter to ensure there are no misunderstandings.
I have some photos for the Provincial Facebook Group, where do I e-mail them?
The Communications Team do not post on behalf of other people on the Provincial Facebook Group. This would entirely defeat the object of social media, which features user-generated content. You are invited, instead, to post it yourself to the group.
Where do I send what to where?
Generally speaking, we try and decentalise communications and make it as accessible as possible. For the Provincial Post, you will need to send the information to the Provincial Communications Officer (PCO). Please use the e-mail address that is used to send out the Provincial Post. The e-mail address is not included here, as it will be "hoovered up" by e-mail spammers. Sorry!
Why is Facebook used so often?
Facebook is by far the most popular social media app used by freemasons. We have the Provincial Facebook Group (PFG) which is only for members of our Province. All members are welcome to post to the group. The Provincial Facebook Page (PFP) is controlled by the Communications Team and is mainly for an external audience.
Which social media channels are we active on?
Facebook, Instagram, X (Formerly known as Twitter), YouTube and LinkedIn
