Who Are We?
“We were formed on 26th September 1894 and met at the Whalley Arms in Whalley (now the Co-op shop) until 1897 until we moved to the Union Club where we have met ever since. Originally the members were local gentlemen of whom many were also members of Whalley Golf Club. The link with the Golf Club continues as we hold our annual Installation Meeting Dinner in May and the Postlethwaite Dinner in December.
The Lodge room is unique and purpose build and accommodates a maximum of 50 making an intimate atmosphere in what is considered Whalley’s little gem.We consider ourselves as a family lodge and offer a welcome to all. In short is a Lodge that takes the ritual and charity fund raising seriously but we are insistent that every meeting is enjoyable, making every member want to come back to the next meeting.
Why Join Us?
“In our Lodge we have a wide range of people, professions, interests and age groups, which makes up a diverse Membership structure. From young professionals, veteran Armed Forces members, small business owners, retired men and everything in between!
We have a supportive, engaged and enthusiastic Membership of over 30 with age ranges traditionally from 25 to 80. Our regular social schedule suits a wide range of potential candidates to Freemasonry.”
WHEN WE MEET
LODGE INFO
We have a charity clay pigeon shoot each year where many thousands of pounds have been raised for Masonic and non-Masonic charities. Prime benefactors are the Guide Dogs for the Blind and the Riding for the Disabled amongst others.
Over the years support has been given locally to the Scouts, Whalley Parish Church, sponsorship of young people and members who support individual charities.
