Lodge Sine Nomine No. 10,000 – otherwise known as Lodge 10K – was consecrated by The United Grand Lodge of England in London for younger Brethren. The Lodge provides a great opportunity for young Freemasons under UGLE’s jurisdiction from all over the globe to interact with each other.
Having observed the success of Lodge 10K, the Board of General Purposes under the leadership and guidance of District Grand Master of Bombay Percy J Driver, has taken a landmark decision to repurpose a Lodge dedicated to young Freemasons – namely, Lodge Friendship and Harmony, No. 1270 EC. The Lodge provides ample opportunity for younger Brethren to integrate ideas, evolve as craftsmen and above all, develop a bond of long-lasting friendship and mutual understanding.
Lodge Friendship and Harmony performs single and multiple-candidate workings at different locations across the District of Bombay, and hopes to attract a rich combination of young members from Mumbai, Pune, Bhusawal, Goa, Lonavala, Nagpur, Bilaspur and beyond. The Lodge is very happy to have received invitations from the Districts of Madras, North India, Sri Lanka and Eastern Archipelago to hold meetings within their Districts, too.
It will be an unstuffy and young-at-heart Lodge, but the ritual workings will be of the highest standards. The Lodge membership will be restricted to those below the age of 45 and the Brethren as a tradition have agreed to resign from the Lodge at the age of 45 so a younger generation can take the Lodge forward.
The Lodge had the good fortune of presenting the Donor Badge to Pro Grand Master Jonathan Spence at a recently held meeting during the Charity Festival in Goa. He was also voted as the Honorary Member of the Lodge.
