ow lodge
report
F
ollowing our Centenary last
year, the Old Wellingtonian
Lodge has had another busy
year with six new members.
Four were new to freemasonry and two were already members of other Lodges. They left College in 1961, 1979,
2002, 2004, 2005 and 2008, highlighting the
wide age range of members.
Our shared Wellington heritage lies at the
heart of the Lodge, and is especially evident at
our annual meeting at College in May, which
always brings back memories. The Lodge also
meets three times a year in London.
As well as welcoming these new members,
preparations have started for the 2015
Public Schools Lodges Council Festival? the
—?
annual gathering of members of the 33 public
schools lodges which is hosted in turn by the
different schools and in 2015 is to be held at
Wellington. It is hoped that the Duke of Kent,
the honorary Master of the Lodge, will be able
to attend again, as he did when we last held the
Festival at College in 1992. The aim as always
is to meet old friends, make new ones and
raise money for charity, all in the magnificent
surroundings of Wellington College.
The Centenary saw the Lodge donate
£5,000 to the ow Society Charitable Trust,
£1,000 to Richards Hospice, and £5,000 to
the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution.
The history of the Lodge is currently being
written and if any ow has any information or
memorabilia which might be helpful (especially
old Lodge jewels) we would be keen to hear
from them. Please contact the Secretary.
We are always happy hear from ows
interested in joining the Lodge, or simply
interested in learning more about freemasonry.
We have a website (www.owl3404.org).
