The World's Toughest Row

Saison 1 · Épisode 26

lundi 4 mai 2026 • Durée 49:58

In this episode of The Derbyshire Freemasons Podcast, Chris sits down with Peter Haymes, who is preparing to take on one of the most extreme endurance challenges on the planet - the World’s Toughest Row - crossing the Atlantic Ocean with a team of four friends, all in support of Motor Neurone Disease (MND) charities.

This is a fascinating and often eye-opening conversation, as Chris dives into the realities of life at sea for around 40 days. From how you sleep in short shifts, to what you eat to stay fuelled, and even the practicalities of day-to-day life in the middle of the ocean, Peter shares the honest and sometimes surprising details of what it really takes to undertake such a challenge.

But beyond the logistics, the episode explores something deeper - the mindset required to succeed. Resilience, teamwork, trust, discipline, and mutual support are all essential not only for crossing an ocean, but also for thriving within Freemasonry. Peter reflects on how these shared values underpin both the challenge ahead and the journey we all take within the Craft and Royal Arch.

An inspiring, insightful, and at times humbling conversation about pushing limits, supporting others, and striving toward a greater purpose.

Real Impact

Saison 1 · Épisode 25

lundi 13 avril 2026 • Durée 23:54

In this episode, Chris is joined by three remarkable guests who between them represent the very best of Derbyshire's sporting community - and whose values of discipline, perseverance, and fellowship resonate far beyond the arena.

James and Anthony Wyatt bring the story of Derbyshire Allstars Badminton Club - a club built not just on competitive ambition but on the kind of inclusive, community-centred ethos that Freemasons will recognise instinctively. They talk about what it takes to build something that lasts, and why sport, at its finest, is about much more than winning.

Emily McClean, Para Ice Hockey player, shares her journey into one of sport's most demanding and exhilarating disciplines. Her story is one of resilience, camaraderie, and the discovery of strength in unexpected places - themes that sit at the heart of Masonic philosophy as much as they do at the heart of elite sport.

And Joshua Johns, competing at the highest levels of Wheelchair Tennis, reflects on what it means to pursue excellence with purpose - the mental fortitude, the community of support, and the way sport can reframe how we see ourselves and one another.

Together, these conversations ask a question Freemasons have long pondered: what do we owe to one another, and what can we build when we build together?

Attraction Events & Joining the Journey

Saison 1 · Épisode 24

lundi 2 mars 2026 • Durée 46:03

In this episode of The Derbyshire Freemasons Podcast, Chris is joined by Doug McConnachie and Chris Nicholas to explore how Derbyshire is opening its doors to the next generation of Freemasons.

The conversation focuses on attraction events for both Craft and Royal Arch Chapters, explaining how these welcoming, informative gatherings give prospective members - and Master Masons considering the conclusive step in their craft journey - a clear and relaxed introduction to what Freemasonry is really about.

Doug and Chris discuss the different pathways into Freemasonry, from initial enquiry and informal conversations, through Lodge membership in the Craft, and onward to the Royal Arch. They explain how attraction events help demystify the process, showcase the values of the organisation, and ensure that anyone interested feels informed, supported, and confident about taking their next step.

A thoughtful and forward-looking discussion about growth, openness, and the many ways someone can begin - or continue - their Masonic story.

Remembrance & Reflection in Freemasonry

Saison 1 · Épisode 19

lundi 3 novembre 2025 • Durée 44:29

In this moving episode, Chris is joined by Joe Royle to explore the deep symbolism of the Vacant Chair ceremony, and how Freemasonry honours those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Together, they discuss the story of the Hall Stone Lodges, founded in the aftermath of the First World War to commemorate brethren who never returned, and the lasting legacy these lodges represent within our Craft.

Joe reflects on how remembrance continues to shape Freemasonry today—through ceremony, charity, and community—and why pausing to remember is as vital now as it was a century ago.

Together, we explore how these venues can continue to grow as community hubs, strengthening our ties with the towns and cities they serve.
