Special interest Lodges Profiles

The Warwickshire Royal Air Force Lodge 9456 was consecrated on the 1st April 1992, to provide a Masonic Lodge for serving and former members of the Royal Air Force, living in and around Warwickshire and the wider West Midlands Region. It was from the outset nomadic, with the Installation meeting held at Stirling Road and then other meetings, anywhere there was a location linked to the RAF with a nearby Masonic Centre to use for the regular meetings. Membership was opened to anyone with an interest in the RAF during the late 1990s, especially other military veterans. 

RAF 9456 is open to all RAF ranks and others interested in the Royal Air Force.  We now have members across the country.

Welsh Rugby Clubs Lodge, a friendly welcoming ‘must-visit’ Lodge for all rugby fans. We especially welcome visiting fans to Cardiff Principality Stadium, at our Friday meetings that we try to coincide with 6 Nations and Autumn Internationals. We raise monies to support Welsh grassroots mini rugby through social events with legends such as Graham Price, Max Boyce, Sir Gareth Edwards CBE, and kit sales of ties, rugby & shirts, cufflinks, bearing our wonderful dragon logo. Our logo motto “Passing It Forward” reflects that our generation of players are passing the love of our great game to youngsters.

West Riding Fairways Lodge was consecrated on the 19th February 1998 at Swinton Masonic Hall, Station Street, Swinton, S64 8PZ. The Lodge was primarily set up for members of other Lodges who have an interest in all aspects of Golf, but over the years has also welcomed new initiates to the order. Over the years through various organised tournaments raised tens of thousands of pounds for Masonic Charities. 

The Lodge was founded by Old Boys of The Duke of York’s Royal Military School, Dover, Kent, and Masons having an association with this School and the town of Dover. 

The School was founded as the Royal Military Asylum at Chelsea on 19th June 1801 by H.R.H. Frederick Duke of York.  On the 15th July 1909 the School moved to Dover, Kent and apart from temporary evacuation during War years, has remained at Dover The President of the School is H.R.H. The Duke of Kent.  The School motto is:  “Sons of the Brave”

Originally discussed in Rugby during 1996, the Lodge was finally consecrated in December 2001 in Birmingham. A joining members Lodge, it met on Saturdays to attend matches after the Masonic business. The Lodge is now aligned to the Warwickshire Masons RFC, which meets at Aldridge RFC in Birmingham and the stated intention is to expand with more meetings a year and take initiates as well as joining members. The Installation will continue to be held in Rugby, a very short walk from the spiritual home of the game, the Rugby School Close, where our namesake first created the game.
