WELCOME TO ROYAL BRUNSWICK LODGE
WHO WE ARE
Royal Brunswick Lodge (RBL) is one of the few old Masonic lodges in Sussex. We operate under the United Grand Lodge of England and are governed by the Sussex Provincial Office. We are based in Brighton, East Sussex and are within easy reach of Brighton Station.
We are a friendly lodge and we have members from many walks of life. Our members come from a variety of backgrounds and nationalities, both young and old.
We are a small lodge and we value our small size. Our members work closely in the lodge as friends rather than just members. We meet regularly within the lodge for Masonic business and organise various social events throughout the year.
MAKE NEW FRIENDS, GET SOCIAL
Meet with like minded people from all walks of life, join us in our social events, or visit other lodges in places like Toulon and Lyon.
WHAT WE DO
We meet several times a year for official lodge business. The focus of the lodge and masonry in general it to follow the masonic guiding principles of brotherly love, friendship, respect and charity.
We have a strong bond between all the members and the lodge undertakes many fundraising activities for local charities and charitable causes. The fundraising is not only done within the lodge but also at all our social events and we regularly organise raffle draws and other events to raise money.
Many of the members who have joined us, have done so because we are a small lodge. In larger lodges, there may be little personal contact between all members and the progression through the office may take much longer. In a small lodge like RBL, we are closely connected and gain the benefit of progressing through the offices much faster. Although this is an opportunity that many members love to take advantage of, there is no pressure on anyone to take any office. We have some members who attend meetings and social events because they enjoy the company and the atmosphere. We also have some members who start with their progression quite early and can effectively go through all the offices within 7 to 8 years.
OUR MEMBERS
There are currently 22 members in the lodge. We have members from different nationalities, faiths, backgrounds, professions and age ranges. We are proud of our diversity and believe this makes us really unique.
