Lodge Traditions
Lodge Traditions
I'm interested in hearing about those of you who have periodic celebrations, observances, that aren't the norm for your jurisdiction.
Whether they be serious, quirky, fun, etc., what do you guys do that others don't? How does it enrich the fraternity for you?
Also, no goat stories.

My mother lodge meets in December just a few days before Christmas, and each year the meeting is followed by a 'white table' dinner and dance (so partners, children, family, friends etc are present) on a ship that makes its way along the Thames in Central London. We go past the Palace of Westminster, under Tower Bridge etc - it's a lovely evening and I look forward to it every year.
That sounds amazing.
Do you have the meeting itself on board?
Brother, please inform the Tyler, who will inform the 1st Mate, who will inform the Captain, that the lodge is now open.
Ha, no. We meet in one of the Lodge rooms up at the UGLE headquarters building in Covent Garden. That's about 15 minutes walk away from the pier the boat leaves from, which is right in the shadow of Big Ben as it happens...
