Historical Background of Thomas Ralling Lodge No. 2508
Thomas Ralling Lodge is full of tradition and experience but with a modern and vibrant feel. Consecrated in 1894, we celebrated our 125th Anniversary in 2019 and look forward to other milestones. Meeting on Saturdays in Loughton, just to the North East of London, provides a convenient time to meet all those who are busy studying or working during the week. Over the last few years, the Lodge has welcomed a diverse number of members and has incorporated them into the fraternity to build a solid and sustainable lodge. All students, faculty, post-grads, and others are welcome. Socially, we arrange "Get Togethers" on a two-monthly basis, have an annual Ladies Night (black-tie dinner and dance), organise Sunday lunches, and an annual Quiz Night. It is all go at times! The Lodge also has the support of two other Lodges (Brooke Lodge 2005 and West Essex Meridian Lodge 9821) who meet at Loughton on Saturdays; this enables members to be flexible in attending meetings. Plus, we have the support of a Lodge from the Order of Women's Freemasonry, which will allow women to be part of the fraternity. So, if you would like to be part of our worldwide organisation, please contact us.
