Increasingly members are electing to have summonses of meetings and associated correspondence emailed to them.
This is a convenient and cost saving method for the Lodge. To enable this, just contact secretary@cleveland543.co.uk by email requesting this facility.

Masons from other Lodges who visit us regularly can in a similar manner request that summonses of our meetings be sent to them by email.

OUR WORK
Within the Lodge, we pride ourselves on performing ritual to an extremely high standard, to enhance the enjoyment and understanding of all candidates and visiting brethren. We believe that although not the most important part of our work, if something is worth doing, it should be done right!

After each meeting, we hold a meal known as the Festive Board where we can relax socially, make new friends or catch up with old ones.
Unusually for lodges in the area, our annual subscription includes the cost of 3-course meals at 9 of our meetings, making joining us very competitively priced!
