Where we meet
Freemason's Hall on Roft Street has been our home since the beginning. It is one of only two purpose-built Masonic halls in Shropshire, and we are one of three lodges that meet there — which is why the building is busy most evenings and why the car park matters.
The Lodge room itself is on the first floor. There is a stair lift; tell the Secretary beforehand if you need it and someone will meet you at the door.
What happens at a meeting
The Lodge opens at 6.15. There is business — minutes, correspondence, the Treasurer — and then usually a ceremony: an Initiation, a Passing or a Raising, each a piece of ritual theatre performed from memory by members who have spent weeks rehearsing it.
Afterwards everyone eats together at the Festive Board: two courses, a few toasts, and the real business of the evening, which is the company.
