Welcome to our visitors page
If you are planning a visit to New Zealand, please ensure that you include a
stay in beautiful Christchurch, and of course, a visit to
The Avon Shirley Lodge No 185

    Visiting other Lodge's is a custom well supported by the Freemason's of Canterbury, and our many
    overseas visitors are also cordially welcome.  The Avon Lodge standard of dress is traditionally a
    Dinner Suit, although we do have a number of members who attend in a dark Lounge Suit.  This is
    common to almost every Canterbury Lodge.

    The Lodge is more than happy to receive our travelling brethren in other dress, provided a jacket and
    tie are worn.  Visitors to the Lodge should attend with their own apron if at all possible, although we
    do have aprons available for loan.  If you are not known to any of the Avon Lodge brethren, then our
    Tyler will be required to 'prove you'.  Of course this process is assisted if you can bring with you
    appropriate documentation (certificate and/or receipt for dues). If you have any further questions
    CLICK HERE to email the Lodge webmaster - we are pleased to assist our visitors.

    We meet on the second Thursday of each month at the New Brighton Freemasons Centre,
    Collingwood Street, New Brighton Christchurch.
