Belfast Lodge Number: 3372

P.O. Box 1571 Middelburg, South Africa
Consecrated: 1910

Belfast, named after the home town of its founder, a Mr O'Brien, is the centre of an important farming area. Most of the founders came from the sponsoring Lodge, Astrea, which at that time met in Machadodorp and the lack of reliable transport made attendance at the Lodge very difficult. However, with many of the brethren being farmers, comforting festive boards were assured.

Glittering Star Masonic Lodge No. 322 I.C.  
The Warrant No. 322 from the Grand Lodge of Ireland, dated 3rd May 1759 was issued for a Masonic Lodge in the British 29th Regiment of Foot. The Glittering Star Travelling Masonic Lodge is still closely associated with the Regiment.
During the Boston Massacre in 1768 the 29th along with the 14th Regiment of Foot were sent to Boston, Massachusetts, where, on the evening of March 5, men of the 29th Grenadier Company under the command of Captain Thomas Preston took part in the Boston Massacre in which five colonists died during a riot in front of the Boston customs house. Due to the incident, the regiment earned the nickname the "Vein Openers" for drawing first blood in the American Revolution.

The Ulster Lodge No. 2972     English Constitution

For over 100 years The Ulster Lodge has been an important part of London Freemasonry.
Meeting four times a year at Freemasons Hall, Great Queen Street, London, WC2.
Visitors from other Lodges are always warmly welcomed.

‘The name Ulster appeals to me: it is synonymous with loyalty and patriotism.
I have always regarded Ulster as representing everything that was good in manhood, honour and courage. The Ulster Lodge has been the means of bringing Ulstermen in London closer to their friends in Ulster.
The founders have every reason to be pleased with its success. I do not hesitate to say that the English Constitution, cosmopolitan as it is, would not be complete without the Ulster Lodge.’
Rt. Hon, Lord Ampthill, G.C.I.E., G.C.S.I., M.A., D.L., Pro Grand Master: 1928
