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.
