Since the Lodge transferred from London to the Province of East Kent in April 1980 it has supported the Provincial Grand Masters Festivals by exceeding the targets set on both occasions. The lodge has also supported a number of local charities including the Hospice of the Weald.
Membership
Joining members have increased our membership to 25. We have another Old Cranbrookian in the process of joining. Although the preamble in the original by-laws stated that membership was open to Old Boys, members of staff and those associated with Cranbrook School this was later expanded to include fathers of Old Boys and then to include friends of members. Our honours board reads like a whos who of Masters and Old boys. We are constantly looking for new members and anyone wanting further details should contact the Secretary.
