OW Lodge update
 

Dear All.

 At our meeting on 4th February we decided to hold a Blue Table event at Gundulph Square, Rochester on 1st March.

 This event is open to men only who wish to learn something about Freemasonry.

The Lodge will hold a short business meeting starting at 6pm and lasting around 30 minutes.

After the meeting has closed, the Members will remain in the Lodge room in their regalia and non-Masons will be brought in.

Proceedings should last around half an hour and will, I expect, include a Q&A session.

A three- or four-course meal will be available for those who book in to dine, cost will be £24 or £27 per head depending on the menu chosen by our Worshipful Master.

Formalities will be kept to an absolute minimum to allow socialising at the bar after the meal.

Anyone wishing to come along should, in the first instance, contact me at rayboast4605@gmail.com and I will then forward details to them as and when they are sent to Lodge Members.

They will no doubt see some familiar faces as the Lodge has many members of the sporting sections (mostly non-playing as out of 35 or so Lodge Members, 22 are over 60 and, of the over-60s, 16 are over 70!). 

Please be aware that this event is not a recruitment drive, it is intended to simply raise our profile among different sections of the OW Club.

I would be grateful if you would forward this message to the members of your sections. 

The Lodge is also hoping to hold a few social gatherings (the annual White Table event is already scheduled for Saturday 6th December, details to follow later in the year), hopefully using the Clubhouse where possible/appropriate.

I will forward details as and when I receive them from the Lodge Secretary.

 Best Regards,

Ray
