The Blue Lounge Social Club was created for many reasons. Our club provides a monthly social evening, where young freemasons of under the age of 55 can gather together outside the lodge in a non-formal environment. Members have told us that generally, in the South, brethren tend to group up making meaningful social interaction difficult. Our meetings allow the brethren to also meet and engage with others from different lodges. During these evenings, freemasons are welcome to come with their wives, partners or friends. This assists in the promotion of freemasonry to non-masons and, by extension, the recruitment of new candidates. In the last three years the club has recruited many new members and contributed to the enrichment and retention of many more. The Future of Freemasonry needs to be an international conversation. We want to commence a global conversation about ways we can strengthen our order through recruitment and retention. The Blue Lounge Social Club wants to collaborate with and share ideas with young brethren in jurisdictions around the world. The future of our order, inclusive of strategies to recruit and retain members is important. Please share your ideas with us. Or alternatively if you have any questions about how to set up a similar body in your jurisdiction, we are happy to help!
