About the Lodge
Daybrook Lodge is a progressive, forward-looking lodge with a mission to make Freemasonry relevant to 21st Century men and we are looking for new members. Daybrook Lodge strives to provide its members with a life-long journey of personal growth, friendship, learning and self-discovery.
We meet on the first Tuesday of the month between October and April at 6pm. We have a diverse membership made up of men of all ages, ethnicities and religions with common values and a shared commitment to our respective communities. We pride ourselves on our high standard of ritual, friendship, and charitable works.
Daybrook Lodge is a proud member of the UGLE Universities Scheme and seeks to cater for Nottingham Trent University student and staff but is open to anyone with an interest in Freemasonry. We are especially looking to welcome new members who are settled in the Nottingham area and would enjoy mentoring and speaking to University students during their time here.
All meetings are followed by a meal, which is usually around £20 excluding drinks. There are annual costs to joining our Lodge which we are happy to discuss on enquiry.
To apply or to find out more about Daybrook Lodge, please contact our Lodge Secretary Andrew Davidson-Hogg via email (andy321000@yahoo.co.uk) or visit our website (www.daybrooklodge.org.uk).
Lodge History
Daybrook Lodge No. 5522 was consecrated on 5th February 1935 for the people of Daybrook, Nottingham as a daughter to Galway Lodge No. 5408. The lodge continued to meet through the Second World War thanks to non-conscripted schoolteachers and local people that lived in the area. In 1978, the Lodge moved from Daybrook to the current location of the Masonic Hall, Goldsmith Street, Nottingham and in 1985, the lodge celebrated its 50th Anniversary meeting.
Ideal Candidate
Whilst initially formed by men in the Daybrook area of Nottingham, the lodge now has members from across the county and country. We welcome any man, over 18, with a belief in a Supreme Being, and no criminal record, who supports the values of Freemasonry. An ideal candidate for this lodge would be someone who is living and working in the Nottingham area (or is retired) and is able to commit to attending meetings and rehearsals (about 14 evenings per year, first and last Tuesday of the month between October and April). You would fit in well with the lodge if you enjoy working as part of a team, have a desire to help others, and wish to learn and explore more about Freemasonry.
As part of the Universities Scheme, Daybrook Lodge is an excellent lodge to join for those currently attending Nottingham Trent University as a student, or working there as a member of staff. By joining a Universities Scheme lodge, students and staff are welcomed into a wider fraternity of scheme lodges that introduce students to Freemasonry and help find suitable lodges for their circumstances after they graduate.
