Bro Paul Facer is looking for members interested in co-founding a Lodge for Poets and those interested in poetry.
It will be in the Metropolitan area and will cater to poetry lovers that would like to compose and enjoy poetry in a Masonic setting.
There have been many famous poets in the Craft including Rudyard Kipling, Robert Burns and Oscar Wilde. There is also a plethora of Masonic poetry for discussion.
Paul envisages many a happy festive board, Ladies nights and Lodge meetings devoted to talking about poems, poets and the joy it can bring to everyone.
If you have a liking for wonderful verse, wonderful company and a good excuse to be with like-minded people – which is, after all, at the heart of Special Interest Lodges, please feel free to contact Paul by email at pfacer@btinternet.com.
