At our meeting on 1st September 2023 we were pleased to welcome our new Visiting Officer W. Bro. Stephen Lovelock SLGR MetGStB and look forward to working with him in the future. After the meeting the Lodge dined at the Double Tree Hilton in Southhampton Row and the sum of £200.00 was raised towards the Master’s List (charity).
The Lodge also received a talk by W. Bro. Steve Smith titled ‘The History of Freemasonry and the terms ‘Operative’ and ‘Speculative’ Freemasons‘ which related historically how these terms came about and what they meant to Freemasons in the early eighteenth century when the Grand Lodge was formed in London in 1717 and what they might mean to Freemasons today. A lively discussion followed this which arose from questions the brethren raised about it. W. Bro. Steve emailed this paper to the brethren following the meeting together with other papers and documents that he had referred to in the paper delivered.
