Attendance and Dining
The United Grand Lodge of England requires that those attending QC Lodge meetings are either a member of a lodge under the jurisdiction of UGLE or that of a Grand Lodge recognized by UGLE. Our dress code is undress regalia, white gloves, dark suit and tie. Where we host non-masonic speakers or open the lodge to non-Masons, we 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 held in Freemasons’ Hall, Great Queen Street, Covent Garden, London, and we now dine at the Grand Connaught Rooms next door. The formalities are minimal and maximise the opportunity for convivial conversation.
Those wishing to dine must let us know at least a week in advance of the meeting. We are, unfortunately, no longer able to accept bookings and payment on the day since the Connaught Rooms requires advance notification of numbers.
The options for booking and paying for dining are as below. The same bank details can also be used for making donations to QCCC to support our work.
Option One: Download and complete the QC Dining Form and mail to the address specified, together with a cheque.
Option Two: Pay via PayPal – payment (£45 per person) can be made via credit card or PayPal by clicking on the ‘Donate’ button; we would be grateful if you could add £2.00 to cover CC/PayPal processing charges. Please notify us at dine@quatuorcoronati.com of your name, any guests, details of Masonic ranks, and any dietary requirements.
Option Three: Pay by electronic transfer to QCCC’s bank account. Please notify us at dine@quatuorcoronati.com of the amount sent (£45 per person), the name of the member and any guests, details of Masonic ranks, and any dietary requirements. Please give ‘[your surname] DINING’ as the payment reference.
If you experience any difficulties or have any questions, please email assistant.sec@quatuorcoronati.com. Payments should be made by the Friday prior to the meeting and cannot be refunded after this date.
