The
Worshipful Master Brother Wardens and Brethren of The Mike Hailwood Lodge No
9839 would like to extend to you a very warm welcome to their website.
Mike
Hailwood Lodge meets at Rugby Masonic Hall, Church walk, Rugby, CV21 3AT, if
you don't know where that is check out the Google map in the directions link in
the main menu.
"A
little bit of history", the Lodge was formed in commemoration of the Motor
Cycling Legend Mike Hailwood; the name is synonymous with the sport. "You
don't have to be a biker but it helps".
The Mike
Hailwood Lodge No 9839 is sponsored by The Lodge of Rectitude No 502 of the
same Province. The Lodge was consecrated by the Provincial Grand Master, RW
Michael J Price CBE, in a full Main Temple at Edgbaston, Birmingham on Friday
25 April 2008, assisted by the Provincial Wardens and other acting Provincial
Officers. Michael Adams is the first Master and he was installed by the Deputy
Provincial Grand Master VW Bro Alan J Wellan.
We meet
on the second Saturday of January, the first Saturday of June and the first
Saturday of September. Due to high demand for joining we will be looking for
special dispensations for extra meetings for initiates.
There are
31 founding members, and our first Initiate was David Hailwood, the son of the
late Mike Hailwood after whom the Lodge has been named.
This is a
daylight Lodge and following the Lodge meeting, the members and visitors of the
Lodge will enjoy a formal luncheon (or festive board) in the dining rooms
within the Rugby Masonic Hall building. "A bike ride will be available for
all those that wish to do the right thing”.
As well
as joy, we’ve also suffered sadness in our first year, with the untimely death
of W Bro John Maris, immediately following his confirmation as Master Elect for
2009. John was a founding force behind the idea and conception of the Lodge,
and he will be missed by us all.
We
hope that the site will be of great interest to Lodge visitors, and that it
will inspire visitors to enquire further.
