The University Lodge Scheme

The Hull Old Grammarians’ Lodge No.5129 is a participant in the Universities Lodge Scheme which is being promoted by the United Grand Lodge of England as a means of furthering and encouraging Freemasonry amongst university undergraduates, graduates and staff at universities in the Hull area.

The Hull Old Grammarians’ Lodge was originally formed from Old Boys and Masters of the former Hull Grammar School, which students, post-graduates and other university members may find welcoming. The Lodge is a member of the Federation of Schools Lodges.

One of the aims of Freemasonry in general is to promote lasting friendships. With the introduction of the Universities Scheme this will create an opportunity to extend this into a fun loving and enjoyable environment.

The Lodge will be arranging an open evening in the near future when it will be possible for those interested in learning more about what we do, and the aims of Freemasonry, to come along to one of our meetings and have the opportunity to look around the lodge and ask questions. There will also be an optional meal after the meeting which visitors are welcome to attend, which will give further opportunity to discuss Freemasonry with individual members of the lodge, in a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere.

The normal age for initiation into a Freemasons lodge is 21 years, however, special dispensation may be granted for university students from the age of 18 years.

If you are presently studying at a university in the Hull area, and wish to become a Freemason, or learn more please contact the Lodge Secretary W.Bro John Plater by e mail secretary.5129@virgin.net, in the first instance.
