The Year ahead: 2011

The Victorian Lodge of Research aims to have its lectures for the year planned in advance. It is to be noted, however, that changes may occur, either as a consequence of the lecturer presenting an alternative to the topic suggested much earlier, or for some unforeseen circumstance. The list below, our syllabus, needs to therefore be read with this in mind.

syllabus - 2011

Attending the Lodge
or what to expect, and how to prepare

Unless otherwise indicated, Lodge is tyled at 7:30, with visitors present invited to be seated within the Lodge for the opening. Those unable to arrive for the opening will of course enter as per normal visits. Unless otherwise stated or implied, all work is undertaken in the first degree. It should be noted, however, that since 2007 only those having achieved the rank of Master Mason (in a constitution recognised by UGLV) are permitted as visitors unless otherwise specified.

An important note is that the South has a $15 cover charge (which may change without notice). Discussions arising from the lecture often take place in the South, and would thus encourage all who are able to partake.

If you have had an opportunity to read at least an abstract of the lecture, or are in some manner able to ascertain its contents from the topic title, I would recommend coming prepared. It only adds to not only your own enjoyment, but also enable better further participation. Of course, if unable, the speaker usually provides much that is not only of value, but presents in such a manner that prior research is summarised.
