Please forgive me if I am a bit naive but after browsing the photo archives I noticed a pit check token with the name LODGE on it and as I have been researching the Lodge history with great success on here as well as other outlets, I wondered if it was a surname on the token then indeed it could be a relation?
many thanks Jon.

Lodge is also used to note a particular "group" , "meeting place" etc often in Miners Union branch.

many thanks slowhands
After I saw three seperate lodge tokens on the pictures area I figured that I was wrong and that they were a general token.
thanks anyway
