Merit Lodge, with the full support of the Provincial Team, is delighted to invite you to a special Information Evening on Monday 17th November with a meet and greet at 5:45pm at Stamford Masonic Centre.
This event is designed especially for wives, partners, friends, family members, and potential candidates, offering a unique opportunity to gain an open and honest insight into Freemasonry.
What to Expect
The evening will begin with a chance to share a pre-meeting drink together before our guests are warmly welcomed in the bar by selected hosts – including experienced Masons and Lodge wives – while the Lodge briefly conducts its business.
From there, a series of engaging talks will shine a light on Freemasonry from several perspectives:
• Dale Gilbert, APGM – will explain what Freemasonry is and what it means to be a member.
• John Fergusson — sharing what Freemasonry means to him and why he chose to join.
The evening will conclude with thanks from the Worshipful Master and an open invitation for guests to explore whether Freemasonry might be a path they’d like to pursue further.
Dining and Booking
Following the presentations, guests are invited to stay and enjoy a four-course meal in the company of members and friends.
• £24.50 Per Person, 4 Courses.
(Brethren are kindly reminded that they are expected to cover the cost of their guests’ meals.)
Booking is essential. Please confirm your place by emailing:
