Lodge Take Over

The event

On 4 September 2026, the Adair Club will take over a Lodge in Somerset and initiate a candidate, with Light Blues from across the Province filling all offices and undertaking all ritual.

The event is open to all Freemasons, and we very much welcome the support of all Brethren; however, we are particularly keen to see as many Light Blues in Somerset as possible join us for the ceremony and festive board.

If you are interested in taking an office or presenting part of the ritual, please get in touch using the link below, we would be delighted to see as many Light Blues from across the Province involved as possible.

Rehearsal dates (please try and make at least one) – Thursday 11th June, Thursday 16 July, Monday 24th Aug (all 19:00 and likely all at the Crossways Hotel).

Love and Honour (No 285), have very kindly lent us their lodge for the evening. Their Secretary has already secured the dispensation required for the take over with the help and support of our Province. The meeting will be at the Crossways Hotel in North Wootton. There is plenty of parking, rooms available for those that wish to stay, and probably the best stocked bar in Somerset. The lodge with tile at 17.00 with the Festive Board commencing at 19.00 carriages at 22.00.
