In addition to the above there are two representatives on the Committee from each Craft Lodge and one representative from Chapter and other Orders.
When the building was originally built it was vested in the name of the Lodge of Saint Mary 1312 but, clearly, over the years it has been found that one Lodge could not possibly support and maintain a building of the size of the Howard Hall and therefore the Howard Hall Masonic Club was formed not only to promote Freemasonry in the Braintree region, but more importantly, to administer the various duties in running such a building, i.e. the supervision and maintenance of the lift, entrance doors, security system, fire fighting equipment, etc., also to undertake risk assessments, fire assessments, compliance with Disabled Discrimination Act, etc., etc. We are also responsible for interviewing and to appointing caterers with the aim of providing good quality food at affordable levels.
The Committee usually meets on a quarterly basis and the financial year commences on the 1st November. Dues are raised by a per capita charge whereby each member of each organisation pays a fixed charge for every meeting whether they attend or not. The per capita charge does not include meal costs.
Catering
Our current caterers are the Orange Tree who have premises in Market Place, Braintree and who cater for outside events and other Masonic Centres as well.
They have a wide choice of menus and are very amenable in dealing with individual dietary requirements providing they are given sufficient notice.
Meal costs are still very reasonable but for a little extra charge it is always possible to splash out with an additional course, etc.
If there are any enquiries with regard to the catering service or, in the unlikely event that there is a complaint, then these must be directed to the Steward, Jack Dove within 24 hours of the incident occurring – telephone number 01376 324782.
