The Committee
Chairman - Richard Freakley PProvJGD, Alma Mater Lodge

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.”
Treasurer - Brother G Webbon, Stivichall Lodge
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. “
