Attendance and Dining
The United Grand Lodge of England requires those attending QC Lodge meetings to be a member of a lodge under the jurisdiction of UGLE or of a grand lodge recognized by UGLE. Our dress code is undress regalia, dark suit and tie. Where we host non-masonic speakers or open the lodge to non-Masons, we close or call the Lodge off for the lecture and welcome everyone to attend. There is no dress code for visitors on such occasions.
We invite attendees to join us afterwards for drinks and dinner. Our lectures are generally held in Freemasons’ Hall, Great Queen Street, Covent Garden, London, and we usually dine nearby. The formalities are minimal and maximise the opportunity for convivial conversation.
Those wishing to dine should let us know at least a week in advance of the meeting. It may not be possible to accept bookings and payment on the day since the venue generally requires advance notification of numbers.
The options for booking and paying for dining are below. The same bank details can also be used for making donations to QCCC to support our work.
Option 1: download and complete the QC Dining Form (please do not use this version for our Shrewsbury Meeting but that on the Next Meeting page) and mail to the address specified, together with a cheque payable to QCCC Limited.
Option 2: pay via PayPal – the amount payable is specified on the Dining Form. Payment can be made via credit card or PayPal by clicking here or on the ‘Dining’ or ‘Donate’ buttons. Please add £1.00 or £2.00 to cover transaction costs, and please notify us by email that you have paid and give your name, the names of any guests, details of Masonic ranks, and any dietary requirements.
Option 3: pay by electronic transfer direct to QCCC’s bank account. Please notify us of the amount transferred, giving your name and that of any guests, details of Masonic ranks, and any dietary requirements. Please give ‘[your surname] DINING’ as the payment reference.
Notifications for Dining/Attendance at Shrewsbury should be emailed to asstsec@pglsalop.org.uk
