The Connaught Club
For Young Freemasons in London
The Connaught Club was founded to give young Freemasons in London a means to meet and socialise, with like-minded people of similar ages, who might otherwise be dispersed over London’s many Lodges and large geographic area. Membership of the Club is open to any Freemason under 35 years of age, whose Lodge/Chapter is under Metropolitan Grand Lodge or who lives/works within London.

Cavendish Lodge is home to many familiar faces from the Club, having been rescued by a team of young Freemasons last year. The ‘ladder’ includes several Committee members and this year, Bro. Michael Parsey, past Club Secretary, will be installed by our current Secretary, W. Bro. Jake Mossom. This will be Michael’s first time in the Chair and as such it promises to be a fantastic evening!
Cavendish Lodge prides itself on excellent ritual as well as camaraderie and conviviality, so isn’t one to miss!
The meeting will begin at 5.45pm at Mark Masons’ Hall, with drinks and dinner to follow at Buck’s Club. Dining costs £95. Register your attendance and find payment details in the September edition of The Chisel.

The Secretary is pleased to announce that the Secretary’s Dinner will be held on Friday the 18th of October at Buck’s Club. The evening promises to be a most convivial affair if last year is anything to go by, and for just £95 each encompassing a Buck’s Fizz reception, 3-course meal with wine, and port to follow for the toasts, it is undeniably incredible value.
Last year’s dinner was a roaring success, and this year may well bring one or two surprises, so be sure you don’t miss out!
