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 29th November 2024 under dispensation, Baltic Chapter No 3006 met at Freemasons’ Hall, where they received 20 joining members from the Metropolitan Grand Almoners Team, in order to become the ‘Almoners’ Chapter’. This has been a long time in planning and execution and a successful installation of all officers was witnessed by a meeting attendance of a size that the Baltic Chapter had not seen for several years. E Comp Darrel Palmer, Metropolitan Grand Almoner, was installed as First Principal, E Comp Julian Brown was installed as Second Principal and E Comp Steve Fanthorpe as Third Principal.

The Officers were existing Members of Baltic Chapter alongside the new incoming Joining Members. Baltic was honoured to have E Comp Timothy L'Estrange, Deputy Metropolitan Grand Superintendent, as guest of honour; he was accompanied by E Comp David Ellis OBE, Metropolitan Grand Inspector for Baltic Chapter, together with an entourage of Metropolitan and Supreme Grand Chapter Officers.

The Chapter has an exaltation planned and is accepting membership from all Almoners or anyone interested in becoming a Lodge or Chapter Almoner. As with most Chapters, you will be more than welcome even if you just want to visit.
