Progress Lodge No.4584

With great excitement and anticipation, we extend our heartfelt invitation to you for a remarkable event at Progress Lodge 4584. In January 2025, we have the privilege of hosting a unique and illuminating demonstration of the 1700s First Degree by the esteemed Sutton Coldfield Demo Team.

Date: 3rd Wed
Time: tbd
Location: Progress Lodge 4584 (@Port Sunlight, Hulme Hall)

This special occasion offers us a rare glimpse into the origins and evolution of our Masonic rituals. The Sutton Coldfield Demo Team, renowned for their expertise and dedication to historical accuracy, will transport us back in time to experience the rituals and ceremonies as they were practiced centuries ago.

Following the demonstration, we invite you to join us for an enchanting Old English Night, where we will immerse ourselves in the customs and traditions of yesteryears. Indulge in hearty fare, fine ale, and the convivial atmosphere reminiscent of taverns from the 1700s.

As we gather to honor our Masonic heritage and celebrate the timeless principles of brotherly love, relief, and truth, your presence is invaluable. We encourage you to join us for this extraordinary event and to share in the fellowship and camaraderie that define our Masonic community.

We eagerly anticipate your presence and look forward to sharing in this journey through time together.
