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?

A new Master Mason should contact the Secretary of his own Lodge to inquire about the meeting dates and times of other lodges. The Secretary typically maintains a list of lodges and their meeting schedules, which can be very helpful for planning visits.

Before visiting another lodge, it is customary for the visiting Mason to notify the lodge he intends to visit, preferably at least two weeks in advance. This allows the host lodge to prepare for the visit, especially in terms of catering and seating arrangements. Additionally, the visiting Mason should ensure he has proper identification or a letter of introduction from his own lodge, confirming his status as a Master Mason.
