About Us
We are a Private Lodge founded on 4th November 1970 under Charter from the United Grand Lodge of England in the Province of West Kent Freemasons.
Our members are men from a wide variety of backgrounds, living and/or working in the West Kent area. The age demographic of our membership ranges from late-twenties to eighties, with the majority being somewhere in-between. With common values of Integrity, Friendship, Respect and Charity we aim to make a difference by building character, developing lasting friendships and making a positive contribution to society.
Social
Socially, we hold and attend a variety of events throughout the year for members, friends and family to have a bit of fun. Some are casual meals or drinks, some are sporting activities and some are more traditional celebrations.
