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

Delve into the rich traditions of Freemasonry as we gather to celebrate our shared values and principles

WHERE WE MEET

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

On Saturday 13th April 2019 a team of seven men, in a Top Gear style challenge, arrived at Brighton Pier having left Brewood, South Staffordshire on Wednesday 10th April. The group of seven, which included three freemasons – two from London Lodge Tulse Hill No. 4462 and the other from the Province of Staffordshire – travelled in two teams, one having cycled the whole 240-mile journey and the other as passengers on public buses.

This road journey was undertaken to raise funds for two charities, Cancer Research UK and Music for my Mind. £5000 was the original fundraising target, but to date over £6,000 has been donated and sponsorship is still being received, the proceeds being equally split between both worthy causes.

W Bro Glyn Williams and Bro Robbie Byrne of Tulse Hill Lodge 4462 together with Bro Mac Webb of Dormston Lodge 7821 (Staffordshire) were joined by John and David Tett, Matt Carter and Dan Morris.

Music for my Mind was established two years ago with the sole aim of improving the quality of life experienced by those living with Dementia. It aims to develop personalised music play lists of the sufferer’s favourite music. It has long been known that familiar music calms and soothes those with dementia, but this is rarely available. Music for my Mind aims to rectify this.

Cancer Research UK’s work is almost entirely funded by the public. It raises money through donations, legacies, community fundraising, events, retail and corporate partnerships. Over 40,000 people are regular volunteers.
