Welcome to the web-site of Internet Lodge No: 9659 Are you a Freemason looking for information about the Craft or just a curious person willing to understand what is about Freemasonry in general? If so then this is the right place to start. I have the privilege to become the 22nd Master of this unique lodge Internet Lodge 9659, an international lodge with members from all continents, coming from different countries and masonic constitutions. Internet Lodge 9659 is a regular lodge under the United Grand Lodge of England, being very special due to a wide diversity of languages and cultures. From Europe to Australia and from Brazil to Japan our members enjoy the masonic knowledges and great friendship using the benefit of the modern communications technology. We meet physically three times per year in various locations in England but between meetings much of our work is taking place on line, via our e-mail list and this web site. Our members are in contact on daily basis working to do projects together, to share their Masonic knowledges, to visit each other, to become involved in charity activities or just to spend quality friendship moments together. A fourth meeting being a fraternal visit to a different country can be decided by the Worshipful Master. Our meeting locations are chosen every year by the incoming Worshipful Master as mentioned also in his Manifesto and for 2019 our meetings will be held in:
Manchester, Bridge Street Masonic Hall for installation on Saturday March 16th, 2019. Brighton Masonic Hall in Brighton, one of the most popular sea holiday destinations in England, on August 10th, for a lecture about Freemasonry in our society, followed by our Ladies Gala Dinner. Sindlesham Masonic Hall in Sindlesham, a small city near Windsor, on October 12th, where the meeting will feature a lecture about the old and modern Freemasonry in the world followed by our traditional Ladies Festival.
