A Lodge not to act without a Warrant

No Lodge may convene without a warrant of constitution issued by the Grand Master, as mandated by this regulation, except under the provisions of Rule 95. The warrant is entrusted to the Master at his installation, who is responsible for its safekeeping and must present it at every Lodge meeting. This requirement ensures that all meetings are conducted under the authority of the Grand Master, maintaining the integrity and governance of the Lodge. However, this regulation does not apply to the Lodge of Antiquity, No. 2, the Royal Somerset House and Inverness Lodge, No. 4, and the Lodge of Fortitude and Old Cumberland, No. 12, which operate under their own immemorial constitutions. This distinction highlights the unique status of these Lodges within the broader Masonic framework.
