KLUBBA LODGE No. 9103
Klubba
Lodge No. 9103 received its warrant on November 9, 1983 and was consecrated on
June 9, 1984 by RW Bro. P A Taylor, District Grand Master. The Lodge meets at
the Georgetown Club and the original intention was for its members to be drawn
from the Club membership itself, with attendance of visiting brethren being
strictly by invitation. The facilities of the club are being used for dining on
the basis of members being responsible for the cost for themselves and their
guests.

officers were:

The lodge first met in the top flat of the
Georgetown Club main building and it is interesting to note that the chairs for
the lodge, including those for the District Grand Master and the principal
officers, were provided by the respective brethren at their own expense. Since
1995 the lodge has been meeting in the Campbell Room in air-conditioned comfort
which can seat fifty persons for a lodge meeting.
The design, art-work and
fabrication of the lodge banner, depicting a front view of the Georgetown Club
premises, was the work of Mrs. Grace Annette McLean, wife of the first Senior
Warden, W. Bro. F C McLean, and was a joint donation to the lodge by the
The first initiate of the
lodge was Bro. D M Griffith who was installed its Master in 1989 and became the
first initiate of Klubba to attain the chair of the
lodge.
The Lodge meets eight times a
year, on the first Tuesday of every month except January, May, July and August
and has adopted the Logic Ritual which, strictly speaking, entails the Master
undertaking all the work in the degree and installation ceremonies. However Klubba, after the first few years of conforming to this
requirement of the Logic Ritual Committee, has been sharing the work for the
most part among Past Masters to keep them involved.
Being at home in the
Georgetown Club makes Klubba Lodge the most
economical in the District in annul subscriptions. The name of the Lodge, Klubba, required some research. The word ‘club’ was thought
to be quite inappropriate, but eventually the Scandinavian word ‘Klubba’ was agreed on which is defined as ‘a number of
persons in the habit of meeting for the promotion of some common objective.’
