The Lodge was consecrated by the then Provincial Grand Master, R.W. Bro. The Rt. Hon. The Lord Swansea, D.L., on Friday 12 March 1982. There were 17 Founding Members - 10 still remain subscribing members. The Founding Master was W. Bro. Oswald Lucas, P.J G.D.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">The name of the Lodge derives from 'Oriel' - a window which projects from the upper stories of a building to let in light. The Lodge Badge has been carefully designed, and is explained as follows:</font></p> <blockquote> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">"The overall shape is an elongated 'O' for 'Oriel', being a pleasant perimeter 'non-heraldic' shape. Contained within this overall shape is a symbolic 'Oriel Window' - a polygonal formation corbelled with squares. As it will symbolise a new Welsh Lodge, the Badge reflects the Welsh element (however subtly) through its symbolic representation of the 'Owain Glyndwr' helmet.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">The Badge, seen simplistically, is designed to represent 'a single ear of corn'. This symbolises a new Lodge which, from small beginnings and with an element of faith and enjoyable effort, will be fruitful and multiply in the quantity of its members and in the quality of its friendships.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">The Compasses and Squares form part of the design, and are symbolic of the roof and window brackets respectively."</font></p> </blockquote> <p align="justify"><font face="Arial">Membership of the Lodge currently stands at 30.</font></p> <p align="right"><i><font size="2" face="Arial">(Information provided by Oriel Lodge, November 1999)</font></i></TD> </TR> <TR><TD WIDTH="1" VALIGN="TOP" HEIGHT=33><P></P></TD> </TR> <TR><TD WIDTH="154" VALIGN="TOP" HEIGHT=33><P></P></TD> </TR> <TR><TD WIDTH="154" VALIGN="MIDDLE" HEIGHT=33><P></P></TD> </TR> <TR><TD WIDTH="154" VALIGN="MIDDLE" BGCOLOR="#000080" HEIGHT=33> <P ALIGN="CENTER"> </TD> <TD WIDTH="1" VALIGN="MIDDLE" HEIGHT=33><P></P></TD> <TD WIDTH="520" VALIGN="MIDDLE" COLSPAN=3 HEIGHT=33> <P ALIGN="RIGHT"></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </CENTER> <p align="center"><a href="../plodges.htm"><img border="0" src="fll.gif" width="126" height="25"></a> <a href="../Locations/cardiff.htm"><img border="0" src="ldg.gif" width="97" height="25"></a> <a href="../cardiff_diary.htm"><img border="0" src="loc.gif" width="85" height="26"></a> <a href="../ra/Locations/cardiff.htm"><img border="0" src="lra.gif" width="137" height="26"></a> <a href="../main.htm"><img border="0" src="mix.gif" width="87" height="26"></a> </p> <P ALIGN="CENTER"></P> <CENTER> </CENTER> </BODY>
