What is Freemasonry?
Freemasonry is based on the ancient traditions of tradesmen who worked and lived within and abided by the rules of their own “Lodges”.
In modern day terms it is formed of men (and now some womens lodges) who live by honest moral standards within a social and charitable organisation.
A freemasons most useful asset in our view is to look at life with an open mind, an open heart and a strong determination to help another whenever necessary.
Who we are?
We are a mature lodge comprised of many ex “tradesmen” such as carpenters, electricians, decorators, teachers, policemen and firemen. Our age range is from 40 to the mid eighties so we are more than willing to welcome some new/younger blood to bring us some inspiration for the future of the lodge.
We meet five times a year on the second Fridays in September, November, January, March and May commencing at around 5.00 pm and including a three course meal, all for a very reasonable annual fee.
We aim to have a relaxed and enjoyable time at our meetings. Our social activities consist of a “Ladies Night” annually, Sunday Family Lunches including wives, families and our Widows, Summer Barbeques and the odd themed Quiz Night.
We hope you may be interested in our lodge.
Please remember - you don’t have to join alone. If you have a friend who is also interested, we are quite willing to take you both.
