There are currently 11 Amity groups spread across the Province. These groups were set up to promote fellowship and companionship among Lodge widows, retired or semi-retired brethren and their partners. They are a great counter to loneliness and everyone who is eligible should be encouraged to come along to their local group.
All of the groups hold regular coffee mornings or luncheon meetings with usually guest speakers, as well as organising coach or boat trips and in some cases, holiday breaks. All of the clubs are subscription free and fun! Information about each of the groups is attached, with details of the meeting place, dates and contact details.
Meet at Farnborough Masonic Centre on the 2nd Tuesday of every other month.
