Henry Clavering Lodge of Oddfellows Newcastle
« on: Monday 15 March 10 17:44 GMT (UK) »
Hi, Would anybody know anything about this particular lodge in Newcastle - the Henry Clavering Lodge of Oddfellows. Where exactly was it and what did it do for its members/services it offered? What would be the advantages of someone joining this group? Many thanks

The Independent Order of  Oddfellows is a friendly society. A friendly society is a voluntary mutual organisation whose main purpose is to assist members (usually financially) during sickness, unemployment or retirement, and to provide life assurance. Friendly societies have been governed by legislation in the United Kingdom for more than 200 years the first Friendly Society Act was introduced in 1793.

A meeting was held  in the Blaydon Hotel, to rename the "Sir Henry Clavering Lodge Blaydon" the "John Raine Lodge".
