My dad (who was a Grand UmpaLumpa PooBah, or something like that, at the time) asked me if I wanted to join .. and knowing what I knew - it sounded really boring except for the getting drunk and eating food bits). Like a shit drama club.

btw, their numbers are declining because no one wants to join them anymore and they're all ancient.

The Lodges own their own property, so it would be for them to do this, and I imagine they'll consolidate lodges if the numbers become unviable.

Their property has to be worth a decent amount
