How to find the Lodge of the Round Table.

The Lodge of the Round Table, in the Province of Worcestershire, meets at the Northfield Masonic Hall.

Car parking at side and rear.

The Masonic Hall is on the A38 Bristol Road and is easily approached:

From Birmingham :- Follow Bristol Road out of city, past Birmingham University, through Selly Oak following dual carriageway for one mile looking out for the Woodlands Orthopedic Hospital on left. A few yards past the hospital the dual carriageway ends and road becomes very wide. The Masonic Hall is here on the right. Take care when crossing road in the face of oncoming traffic.
From Bromsgrove :- Follow A38 Bristol Road towards city, through centre of Northfield and straight on at traffic lights at cross roads with Bell Hotel on left. Continue straight on past junction with a minor road on left, after a further 100 yards the Masonic Hall is on the left, however the entrance is somewhat concealed and easily missed on a first visit.

Ever considered becoming a Freemason?

This news page was created to show potential future members the diversity of our Masonic activities, which are largely charitable social events and always enjoyable, in the hope that they will be interested to find out more.

A good place to start is the "Frequently Asked Questions" page in this website. Once you have taken a look at this, we advise speaking to one or more Masons - feel free to broach the subject with any friends, neighbours or colleagues who are Masons, as most Masons are generally happy to talk to anyone interested and put you in touch with a Lodge Secretary. Otherwise you can always contact us by e-mail, giving us a few details about yourself and why you are interested in joining.

The Lodge of the Round Table has six meetings per year, which take place on the first Wednesday of the month from October to April (Except January). Each meeting commences when the Lodge is opened at approximately 6 p.m. The minutes from the previous meeting are read and then the general business of the Lodge is conducted. At about 7.45 p.m. the Lodge is closed and we move to the Dining Room, where we round off the evening with a Festive Board of good food and lively conversation amongst Brethren from our own and other Lodges.

Our Contribution to Charity

Since the beginning of Freemasonry, Masons have been concerned with the care of orphans, the sick and the aged. Today we continue this work and we also raise large sums of money to benefit national and local charities.

There are many different levels at which Masonic charity occurs: within local communities individual Lodges give aid, and every Province donates large quantities of money to regional causes.

Contributions are also made to the main Masonic charities, which operate at a national level and are funded by the activities of Lodges throughout the country. Lodge of the Round Table holds the distinction of being associated with two of these:

It should also be noted that donations are always strictly charitable, e.g. donations are never given to political parties or pressure groups.

This Appeal was officially launched on 1st January 2006. Details of this event have been covered in full at both Regular Lodge Meetings and Officers Meetings.

For your donations to qualify for Gift Aid you must pay an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax at least equal to the tax that the Trust reclaims on your donations in the appropriate tax year (currently 28p for each £1 you give).
