Who should a new master mason contact for other lodges meeting date and time, if he wants to visit them and what is the procedure is to be followed before he visits?

To ascertain meeting details and obtain an introduction before visiting another lodge, a brother should contact the Secretary of his own lodge or consult official publications and regional communications, as an article on the Grand Lodge of India's website notes.

Before an unknown visitor is admitted to a lodge where he is not a member, his Masonic standing must be verified. The United Grand Lodge of England states that a visitor is required to produce his Grand Lodge certificate, present a current clearance or dues receipt, and undergo a formal examination by a committee appointed by the Worshipful Master.

Mackey explains that admission requires either personal vouching by a competent brother present or a thorough examination by an appointed committee 1. As a preliminary step to examination, the visitor takes the Tiler's Obligation, declaring under oath that he was regularly initiated, passed, and raised in a legally constituted lodge, does not stand suspended or expelled, and knows of no impediment to Masonic communication 1. Mackey also notes that a visiting brother has both the right and the duty to inspect the host lodge's Warrant of Constitution or Dispensation before entering, ensuring for himself that the lodge is legal and regular 1.
