Welcome to the 2 O’Clock Club
The 2 O’Clock Club was established in March 2012 by Ali Moore and Christine London. What began as a small gathering has evolved into an exciting and interesting group for ladies with a family connection to Freemasonry.
We meet at the Old Rectory Hotel in Crostwick, Norwich, NR12 7BG, in a very relaxed and informal atmosphere. Our meetings are mostly held on the first Wednesday of each month—at 1.30pm for 2pm speaker meetings, or at 12 noon for 12.30pm lunches.
At our speaker meetings and annual pre-loved sale, we always enjoy a cuppa along with a slice of cake or a fruit bowl. Throughout the year, we also host a couple of two-course meals and an afternoon tea, which is a must! We enjoy a couple of outings during the year too, making it the perfect place to meet like-minded friends.
A raffle is held at each meeting to raise money for our club and occasionally for charity.
Obviously, without the help and support of our valued members, we would not run as effectively and efficiently as we currently do. We would love to see you there and are offering a free first visit to see if it’s for you—with absolutely no pressure to join!
Membership Requirements for the 2 o’clock Club
Members must have a family member past or present connected to Freemasonry.
It is essential that members book into meetings at least a week in advance stating whether they would like cake or fruit, this will ensure the hotel is able to provide sufficient refreshments.
Annual Subscriptions
The Annual Subscription currently runs from January to December, with a pro-rata fee for those who join during the year. Subscriptions are reviewed annually in December.
The subscriptions cover the cost of refreshments at regular meetings and contributes in a small way towards our speakers’ fees.
Fees can be paid by BACS, Cheque, or cash.
Lunches, afternoon teas and various other events are at a separate cost which will be advised to our members.
A member can book in a guest who has a Masonic family connection, to give them the opportunity to decide if they would like to join the club. There will be a charge to cover the cost of refreshments or meal depending on which meeting they attend.
Family and Friends are welcome at our advertised events, especially our annual St Georges Day Lunch and our Garden Party.
Pleased be assured that you will receive a warm welcome by our friendly members.
