We are having one next month. It will be my first.

Anyone have one?  I am trying to find out about the ritual involved from my WM today.

Seems like it could be pretty cool

It's in our by laws that we celebrate two St Johns festivals yearly. The spring one is a table lodge. We can't conduct business during it but we pay the craft their wages in the form of Masonic education. We use sparkling cider for the toasts as we cant have alcohol in the lodge building. It's a fun time and a great way to break up what some seem as the monotony of a regular lodge meeting.

We do the same. Our EA and Fellowcrafts act as servers, they cook, serve and clean up as the table lodge goes on. We are very careful to see that they are around when the educational parts are going on.

Each year the the Grand Master issues an edict allowing wine for Table Lodges and Commandery Orders.

Table Lodges are fun.  If you were in the military it's akin to a Dining In.  We had our Annual Joint Table Lodge with Prince Hall at the beginning of April.  It was a good time.
