'Urban Myth ?'
# By Bro Ian Raynor on 10th July, 2007
Whilst having a chat with fellow Mason, he mentioned to me a practice that he had heard about. Appartently, in an effort to cut down on outgoings,some members of Notts Installed Masters are resigning from their Mother Lodge, but retaining membership of N.I.M, thereby taking advantage of the proportionally smaller Annual Fees, yet still attending regularly as a 'guest' to their former Mother Lodge & other Craft Lodges. I have no experience of this practice at my own Lodge,and hopefully it is just an 'Urban Myth'., but perhaps provincial rules (If they haven't already) should look into closing this loophole.
Whilst trying not to state the obvious,the financial burden on the remaining Brethren in Craft Lodges will increase if this practice is more than a Myth!!
Anymore Myths in Nottinghamshire??
