What is the annual subscription levied by the Lodge?

The annual membership fee for Tudor Lodge for 2019 is £260.00. If joining part-way through a calendar year a pro-rata amount is paid based on the number of meetings left in the year. This membership fee includes the cost of dinner excluding drinks. If you invite any Masonic guests it is normal that, as their host, you may pay their dining fee of £22.00.

Lodges have a ‘dress code’

Members and Masonic guests wear a dark, usually black, lounge suit, white shirt, a black or Provincial tie and black socks and shoes. With the exception of a pair of white cotton gloves, other regalia need not be purchased for the first 12-18 months. Regalia can be purchased from masonic shops and through the Provincial Office which also offers the opportunity to buy second-hand regalia at lower cost.

From time to time, many Lodges have a special evening, or daytime event, specifically to raise money for charity. You will never be pressurized into attending them or to donate money at these events if you are unable to, or prefer not to. However, it is hoped that you will participate in the Lodge’s efforts to raise money for the various charities adopted providing it is within your means.
