Newcastle-upon-Tyne Lodge 24

Our latest entered apprentice will be passed to the degree of a fellowcraft at our next meeting! This takes place on Friday June 19th, 7pm start, at Byker Masonic Centre.
We called on brethren of the province to fill the room for his 1st and they responded in fine style. We'd love to see you all again for this degree. Again, many of the officers are performing their roles for the first time with a live candidate, we are mostly light blues on the floor and your support would mean a lot, to the team and to the candidate. Message us if you plan to attend! You'll be guaranteed the warm NC24 welcome, at the door, diligent performance of the ritual, and a fine festive board, with great company, food and harmony.

The brethren of Prince of Wales Lodge were present in numbers at our last meeting and were great company as always.
They have an upcoming social event, to which they invite you all. This will be held at Fern Avenue, Saturday June 6th at 7pm, with a disco, and music from top performer Mea Dean. There's a raffle, hot and cold buffet, and the ever popular whisky pitch and toss! £15 per ticket, with proceeds going to charitable causes. Non masons, partners, family and of course prospective candidates are all most welcome!

What a night! Newcastle upon Tyne Lodge No.24 initiated Noel in a well attended ceremony. It was a fantastic evening, with great ritual from all, esteemed company, and the kind of camaraderie 24 is famous for.
Downstairs we had lots of laughs, harmony from both WBro Tony Richardson and WBro Darren Bolton and Noel performed his reply with confidence.
Looking forward to his being passed to the 2nd degree next month; let us know if you're coming along 🤝

The master, wardens and brethren of Newcastle upon Tyne Lodge No.24 invite you to join us on Friday 15th of May at 7pm, when we will initiate our newest candidate. We're aiming for a full temple at Byker, and we have just a few seats left, so please be quick!

Don't forget, we have a live first on the 15th of May!
A perfect opportunity for mentors to bring along their own lodge's EAFs, to see the ceremony and explain what's going on. We are expecting a lot of visitors too, which always creates an amazing atmosphere!
There'll be the usual top notch festive board too, and lively masonic company.
See you at Byker Masonic Centre, for a 7pm start 🤝

Friday night went exceptionally well. The officers, many performing 2nd° ritual in their new posts for the first time, did a cracking job, and received well earned congratulations from visitors.
We greeted visitors at the door, treated then to a solid performance of ritual, and entertained downstairs. What a night.
Many thanks to WBro Darren Bolton who provided harmony and company, both appreciated, to WBro Steve Little for his reply on behalf of visitors, and to WBro Andrew Bull, our most recent joining member, that's 5 in recent months-we're doing something right!
Next month we have a live 1st°, on Friday 15th of May. Hope to see you there!

On Friday, April 17th, we will be performing a practice 2nd° ritual, to which we invite you all. Most of our officers will be performing their roles for the first time and we would all enjoy your attendance and support. In return you can expect a warm welcome, at the door, diligent performance from all, and the best company at our festive board.
We tyle at 7pm; see you there!

Our DC, WBro John Green, along with our JW, WBro Darren Fergus, represented 24 last night down at Knebworth Lodge No.6941, for the installation of WBro Ben Francis as Master. Ben and the Wayward Wanderers travelled from London for our installation in Feb and we were delighted to reciprocate.
We've made a great connection through Darren, who is master of a lodge in the south, and we look forward to regular visits between our lodges.
