The Provincial Compendium
The diary and administration for your Province, in one place.
Provendium™ is a secure calendar and administration platform for the Provinces of English Freemasonry. It brings the Provincial diary, the registers, invitations, seating and notices into a single system, instead of spreadsheets, documents and a separate calendar widget.
One diary for every Lodge and Chapter (illustrative)
What's Provendium?
Running a Province means keeping track of hundreds of meetings, the officers who attend them, and the members who need to know. Today that work is usually spread across spreadsheets, documents, web forms and a calendar widget on the website.
Provendium brings it into one place. The name is where it comes from: a Provincial compendium.
Provincial compendium
What it does
Everything a Province needs to plan its year.
One system for the diary, the people, the meetings and the work around them. Here is the shape of it. The features page goes through each in detail.
A single Provincial diary
Every Lodge and Chapter meeting in one place, with the business of each occasion, planned and published from the same system.
A calendar for your website
An embeddable widget for your Provincial website, in month, list or compact form, with venue maps and directions. It matches your site and updates on its own.
Subscribe in your own calendar
Members can follow the Provincial diary, a Lodge, a Provincial role or their own meetings in Apple, Google or Outlook, and it stays current.
Lodge and Chapter registers
Every unit and its officers, the full establishment shown filled and vacant, kept up to date without spreadsheets.
Brethren and their service
One record for each Brother, with the offices and memberships held over time, and a directory you can search.
Invitations and replies
Members invited to the meetings that concern them. They reply in one click, with no login, and reminders are chased for you.
Attendance and the festive board
Who is attending and who is dining, with dietary needs, seating plans and place cards for the DC team.
The ceremonies team
A shared diary and section for the Director of Ceremonies team, with confirmed attendees and briefing sheets for each occasion.
Summons and notices
The summons for each meeting kept with it, and notices sent to the right people, with a weekly digest and safeguards against over-sending.
Milestones
Centenaries and other anniversaries flagged ahead of time, so none is missed.
A calendar that lives on your Province's site.
Publish once and the meetings appear on your website in a widget that matches it. Choose a month grid, a list or a compact view, restrict it to the calendars you want, and lock it to your own domains.
- Month, list or compact, as you prefer
- Venue address, map and directions on each entry
- Updates itself when the diary changes
Attendance, dining and seating, handled.
Members say whether they are attending and whether they are dining, in the same one-click reply. The DC team sees the numbers, the dietary needs and a seating plan they can arrange, print and turn into place cards.
- Attendance and dining as two separate answers
- Dietary requirements gathered with the reply
- Seating plan, place cards and a dietary list to print
Privacy at the foundation
Built for the discretion Freemasonry expects.
Each Province is kept separate from every other. Sensitive contact details are encrypted, and members see only what they should. Privacy is designed in from the start, not added on.
Who it's for
- The Provincial Office: the diary, the registers and the administration in one place.
- Secretaries and Scribes: meetings, contacts and notices without the paperwork.
- The DC team: who is attending each occasion, and the seating and dining that follow.
- Members: who want to know what's on and where, and to follow it in their own calendar.
