We have a strong core of Senior Past Masters and senior members who proactively support our newer members who are keen to learn. We pride ourselves on our ritual, delivered with skill, to make for an interesting and fulfilling evening.

We have been members of the Universities Scheme since 2008, opening Freemasonry to Sunderland University, and we have had interest from students, staff, and alumni since then. Former students and staff have now become senior members within the Lodge, and we look forward to supporting them and watching them grow.

You will find us committed to ensuring that the membership can develop as Masons, in whatever way they choose, facilitated by strong friendships, pride in our reputation and our commitment to Freemasonry.

The Craft gives its members practical rules by which they can live their lives whilst the Royal Arch leads the candidate from the practical to the spiritual hence The Royal Arch is the culmination of "Pure Ancient Masonry".

Ian and Judith Telfer support Birtley Aquatic Centre

Following the closure of Birtley Swimming Baths by Gateshead Council, the members of Birtley Amateur Swimming Club were without a home.

It was suggested that a Community Asset Transfer may be possible if sufficient funds could be raised. The Swimming Club supported this suggestion and as Vice-Chairman of Birtley Swimming Club, Judith Telfer, wife of Ian Telfer, who is a member of Mowbray Lodge agreed to front and launch a Crowdfunding Appeal, with the target of £20,000, which was achieved.

Significant donations from various sources including Durham Masonic Charitable Foundation have enabled the scheme to go ahead with the re-opening of the pool, now named Birtley Aquatic Centre. Thanks to the dedication of those involved the Centre is due to re-open on 16th September 2024, marking a new chapter for local residents and underscoring the impact of charity and community Spirit.
