Greetings
At lunch today, we were talking about the nature and role of Grand Lodges.
One thing Grand Lodges do is issue licenses (warrants or charters) for Lodges to meet, and we were wondering how wide spread it is for warrants to have the day your lodge meets and meeting place recorded on it. When did this start, what was the thinking around it??? We thought control and knowing where and when Lodges met..
The "traveling warrant" was something I believe the Irish invented, but putting that aside, do GLs generally record meeting place and day on the warrant they issue ?
