'White Table' Meeting

January saw us hosting a meeting with a difference; invited our friends and family to join us for an 'open' or 'white table' meeting and the chance to get a glimpse of what really happens behind closed doors.

Our guests enjoyed teas and coffees in the bar whilst the official work of the Lodge was conducted. We then threw open the doors and invited them to join us inside the Lodge Room where the officers and members of the Lodge, in full regalia, proceeded to deliver a series of short talks about various aspects of Freemasonry, including the roles of the officers, the meaning of the clothing we wear and, most importantly, why we do what we do.

At the end of the meeting, the first verse of the national anthem was sung, before the Worshipful Master and his officers left the Lodge Room in procession.

With the formalities taken care of, everyone enjoyed refreshments in the bar before sitting down to a sumptuous 'White Table' Festive Board, where the Worshipful Master warmly thanked all our guests for attending and invited them to join us again in the future.
