Our Meetings

The Lodge holds 4 Regular Meetings which are a mixture of formal ritual followed by dining at what is known as the Festive Board. These meetings take place on the fourth Wednesday of September (Installation), and the fourth Wednesday of November, February and May each year.

The meeting in September is our Installation Meeting when a new Worshipful Master is Installed into the Chair of the Lodge. He then appoints s his officers for the ensuing year and following these formalities the brethren and their guests retire to the dining hall for the festive board.

Subsequent Regular meetings held In November, February and May are used to conduct other lodge business which might include Initiation or progression of candidates as well as propositions in support of charity or other matters requiring approval by the brethren.

Our meetings start at 6 pm and following the Festive board finish at 10pm.

The Lodge committee, which consists of Past Masters and senior officers, meet four times each year following regular Meetings in order to discuss future business of the lodge and, if necessary, to consider propositions.

As much of the lodge’s activities at regular meetings is concerned with the ceremonial part of Freemasonry which requires all officers to be well rehearsed and properly prepared the lodge holds a Lodge of Instruction every Tuesday evening from September to June to enable practice and rehearsal to take place. These informal meetings commence at 7.30pm and usually finish at 9.15pm.
