WHAT IS FREEMASONRY?

One of the oldest secular social and charitable organisations in the world, modern Freemasonry’s roots lie in the traditions of the medieval stonemasons who built our castles and cathedrals…

The lodge has held several social events such as witnessing the Tower of London Keys ceremony a lady’s festival at a hotel usually outside of London that provides opportunity for our families to enjoy the company that these types of events provide. Importantly we maintain links with the regiment and serving soldiers.

EVENTS

Our meetings are held on the 1st Saturday of March, June, September and December, at 60 Great Queen Street, London WC2B 5AZ. they usually start at 11am thus providing members ample time to travel to London to join the meetings. The June meeting is the installation meeting.

ABOUT

The Parachute Regiment Lodge was consecrated on 5th June 1989. Though named for our Regiment the decision was taken not to restrict membership to serving or former members, though the majority do fit that criteria. Our membership is drawn from a wide range of military, security and civilian backgrounds who all adopt our ethos, to be the best in all that we do…

ARENA

Engage in enlightening discussions, partake in meaningful rituals, and forge lasting connections with fellow brethren

Prostate cancer is now the third deadliest form of cancer in the UK, causing more deaths, than to those suffering from breast cancer, with only half as much money being spent on research into the disease, whilst sadly the number of men dying from prostate cancer continues to rise.

W Bro John MacCabe of Euphrates Lodge No. 212 will be undertaking a mammoth set of cycle rides during the summer to raise money for research into this disease. The rides will take place between the 1st June and 4th August and are;

Painters Trail Cycle Challenge
London Football to Amsterdam (Prostate Cancer UK event) (Olympic Stadium to Ajax Stadium) via Harwich and the Hook of Holland
Le Grand Depart – follows the first stage of the 2019 Tour de France (Prostate Cancer UK event)
Prudential Ride London-Surrey 100

Having a friend who has been affected by this disease gave John the motivation to go for the ride once again this year. Since 2013 John has raised £18,500 for various charities including Prostate Cancer UK and says, “I will be cycling approximately 500 miles over the period and I hope to raise £7,500 in support of the charity.”
