wm16aIt is an honour for me to be the 16th Master of Internet Lodge, and the third one From the United States to hold this office. We are an international lodge, with members from all continents, encompassing many different countries and Grand Lodge jurisdictions.
This is a regular lodge under the United Grand Lodge of England, but also a very special lodge, which meets three times per year in various locations in England. Between meetings we work on line, via our e-mail list and this web site. Our members are in daily contact to work together, help one another, discuss Masonry or just socialize.  And, I hasten to add that we do not hold our lodge meetings over the internet.  We call ourselves “Internet Lodge” because we use the internet and other computer technology to enhance communications with our membership.
Meeting locations are chosen each year by the incoming Worshipful Master, and for 2013, our meetings will be held in:

  • Manchester, Bridge Street Masonic Hall for Installation on Saturday March 16th. 2013.
  • Bangor, North Wales, for a talk by WBro Dave Siviter on Masonic Figurines. August 10th 2013.
  • Manningtree, Essex, for a talk by WBro Richard Gan on the “Union of 1813 between the Ancients and Moderns.”

The year will also feature a visit to Romania visits to two Lodges there.
Enjoy your visit to our web site.
