Airedale Lodge is a traditional lodge which has gone through a particularly transformational time in its recent History. Faced with an ageing membership and a string of unfortunate events the Lodge nearly didn’t survive in recent times. A decision was made within the core member Brethren left to do whatever possible to keep the tradition and increase numbers and spread the word that Airedale Lodge 387 will survive and build long into the future.

The numbers have now nearly doubled with new Junior Brethren, joining members and will soon be welcoming into the Lodge the soon to cease Criterion Lodges remaining members which should now give all great heart that the foundations of this Ancient Lodge should be on a firmer footing to welcome new keen members to this once again vibrant and optimistic Lodge with a strong emphasis on social, sporting and charitable events.

The Lodge have decided to keep to three dinner dances per year which gives the opportunity for the wives, friends and ladies of the membership to socialise in the relaxed surroundings of Baildon Masonic Hall, Hoyle Court. Members have interests in golf, clay shooting, football, music, motorcycling, classic cars, theatre and comedy.
