Ardingly College Lodge No 4410
When
and where
The
Ardingly College Lodge meets four times a year, and the lodge year
starts in September. The first three meetings are held at
Freemasons' Hall in Great Queen Street, London, and then the fourth and
final meeting is held at the school in the summer term. The
London meetings start at 5 o'clock, and after these meetings we dine at
7.30 in the Trattoria Verdi nearby. The School meeting is held
slightly earlier in the afternoon, in the Lower Library, in the New
Wing, followed by dinner in College with Masonic and non-Masonic
guests, including college staff, wives and partners who like to come.
- The first
meeting of our year is the Installation meeting held on the fourth
Wednesday in October. This is the meeting at which the
Master-elect is installed for his term of office, and he invests his
officers
for the ensuing year.
- Our second
meeting takes place on the second Tuesday in December.
- The third
meeting is held on the first Wednesday in March. The December and
March meetings are our principal general business meetings.
- Our summer
meeting at Ardingly is set for the third Saturday in June, but it may
be adjusted to coincide with OA Day (Old
Ardinians' Day), if that is not more than 28 days away.
Meetings for 2010/11
are set for these dates, based on the above schedule:
Wednesday,
27th October 2010 (Installation)
Tuesday,
14th December 2010
Wednesday,
2nd March 2011

Freemasonry being a
very sociable organisation, not only do we invariably have guests from
other Lodges at both our London and our Ardingly meetings, but many members of the Ardingly
College Lodge also visit other lodges, not only local lodges of which
we may also be members, but also other Public Schools lodges in
particular, and especially those of fellow Woodard schools; and of
course other Masonic orders including the Woodard Royal Arch Chapter,
for which see the Woodard Masonry link.
Masons who would like to visit the Ardingly College Lodge will be very
welcome. Get in touch with the Secretary for details of the next
meeting.
