This lodge has its origins as far back as 1818 and has many traditions which were a joy for our brethren to witness.  The link to Apollo Lodge website is: http://www.apollo357.com/index.php/history/early-days and a fascinating history is recounted.

Our brethren experienced a multiple initiation (joining) ceremony of six Oxford University students and then joined with them at dinner as part of the 191 masons present.

The success of this visit has inspired us to aim to set up a yearly visit to the lodge, and our thanks go to the Master and Brethren of Apollo Lodge for making us so welcome, and also to those who worked so hard to organise the visit.
