A lodge founded by like-minded brethren in 1925 it has continued to extol the virtues of integrity, friendship, respect, service and charity.
The lodge meets on a Saturday morning, 4 times a year, at Freemasons Hall, Gt Queen Street. A Saturday was opted for as the majority of its original members were clerical workers. As the lodge grew so did the variety of the members who now include mechanical/electrical trades and building maintenance surveyors. Recent members now include young professional’s which, as the lodge meets on a Saturday, will allow membership to fit into the busy life of this generation.
From the many workings within lodges, Queenswood Lodge opted to use the Universal form. It takes great pride in the way ceremonies are conducted – putting in lots of hard work in their Lodge of Instruction, which also meets on a Saturday morning at Freemasons Hall. The Lodge of Instruction being conducted in a less formal atmosphere than regular lodge meetings, is a great way to practice lodge work and enjoy meeting up with the members in a friendly, casual and enjoyable way.
