Every Brother elected and installed as Master of a Lodge under the Grand Lodge for a minimum of one year, as per Rule 105, retains membership in the Grand Lodge as long as he remains a subscribing member of any Lodge under its jurisdiction. If he ceases to be a subscribing member, he loses his Grand Lodge membership. Should he resign in good standing, he can regain Grand Lodge membership upon becoming a subscribing member of the same or another Lodge. However, if he has been excluded or resigned without settling his dues, he must serve another term as Master before being eligible for Grand Lodge membership again. This document outlines the qualifications and conditions affecting Past Masters' membership status within the Grand Lodge, emphasizing the importance of maintaining good standing and the implications of resignation or exclusion.
