The Lodge is very pleased that it still has some property items dating back to its foundation in 1899, including this Declaration Book (still in use).

The Coker Charity Box

Donated by Past Master Horace Coker, this ornate box is used to collect alms at our meetings.

One of the features of our Lodge is our dining habits, which are varied, from formal banquets in gentlemen’s clubs to sandwiches in a public house.

Two of our younger members play a popular Lodge game: “Discuss the clerical attire of a nearby Clerk in Holy Orders”.

Carefully embroidered copies of the lodge badge on blue silk backgrounds adorn the ‘pedestal fall’ and the ‘warrant burse’ (the latter containing our Warrant).

We engage in social activities during the year. Here a number of members are seen at lunch during a visit to the Henley Royal Regatta, 2007.

Our programme regularly involves guest events. Here our Secretary and his wife are pictured at the Carlton Club, St James’s, during a guest banquet.

We have been known to dine in the Stockpot, a local Italian restaurant, and TGI Fridays. At other times its the Cavendish Hotel, or the Army & Navy Club.
