About us
Mike Hailwood Lodge was founded in April 2008 as a special interest Lodge, for those who had a shared interest in
Motorcycling and Freemasonry and was one of the first Lodges in the UK with this connection.
The name of the Lodge was selected from and agreed with the Hailwood Family after a long period of negotiation with their
American lawyers and another long discussion with United Grand Lodge on the suitability of using Mike’s name in connection
with Freemasonry.
Agreement was finally reached with the assurance that all our meetings would be conducted in strict accordance with the usual
Masonic dress code and craft traditions, and agreement was granted from UGL in the use of the name of Mike Hailwood,
despite him never having been a freemason!
Our first initiate was Mike Hailwood’s son, David Hailwood, who is now an honorary member of the Lodge.
Our Lodge has a present total membership of around 38 from all parts of the UK, with several members from the Isle of Man,
and even one member in Nairobi!
Our Masonic ritual can be quite unique in that we have many members whose mother lodges are from other Provinces outside
of Warwickshire, which at times can prove interesting when their own well-known practices and customs occasionally surfaces
without prior warning!
The Lodge feels that its strength and attraction appeals to those who wish a combined love and an interest in the fraternity of
freemasonry being practised within the open and easy shared love in all aspects and matters within the world of motorcycles
and motorcycling.
We recognised that it was important that all our meetings should be held on the weekends, especially to permit those practising
motorcyclists the pleasure to be able to attend on their choice of vehicle.
Why Join Us?
You don’t need to own a motorcycle; you might have never owned one, or you might just like the look of them. It’s a super fun, relaxed way to get into freemasonry. We meet on a Saturday, in the day, so we don’t eat into the “normal” working week.
Our membership includes many from those in the world of racing, sprinting, testing, motorcycle manufacturing, ex-police
motorcyclists and of course, those that just love all aspects of motorcycles and motorcycling in general!
We are a special interest Lodge
Motorcycling and the love or just allure of bikes.
There’s an undeniable allure to the world of motorcycling. Whether it’s the wind rushing past, the sense of freedom, or the tight-knit community of riders, motorcycling offers a unique and exhilarating experience.
The motorcycle community is diverse and welcoming. Riders often form clubs or groups to participate in events, charity rides, and rallies. These gatherings provide an opportunity to share stories, tips, and a passion for riding. The sense of belonging and the friendships formed within the community are invaluable aspects of the motorcycling experience.
