An insight into the life of a Freemason outside the masonic centre.

AN IRONMAN
Name: Kevin Shepherd
Age: 56
Location: Milton Keynes
Joined: Nov 2001
Lodges: Princes Risborough 5203

Kevin is undergoing a challenge to become an Ironman. Specifically to complete an Ironman race. Kevin in the past has finished in many marathons and triathlons, but this incredible event involves a 2.4 mile open water swim, 118 mile bike ride, and finishing by running an entire marathon. Finishing is a mighty feat.
To be able to achieve this, Kevin is training 16 hours per week either running, swimming, cycling or in the gym doing yoga, pilates or strength training. He trains everyday and is currently on a 6 month training plan building up to the event. Kevin is also a trained UKA Athletics coach, passing on his many hours of experience to others.

Kevin's favourite aspect of Freemasonry is the sense of community. Freemasonry provides something different that no other order, group or system can give. It gives you friends to last a lifetime, and a sense of belonging- "If you commit to your masonry you will grow as a person, gain confidence and new friends. I have life long friends of 25 years now that I only know through masonry. Masonry brings something different that no other order, group or system can give."

Kevin likes how you can still enjoy Freemasonry while leading a very busy life. Kevin was once a Master of a lodge while completing a masters degree as well as juggling work, family life and his hobbies. Most lodges meet four times a year, meaning you can still enjoy a brilliant Masonic career but also enjoy life outside and centre and with Aprons Off.

At a recent meeting of the de Bohun Lodge No.8175 Bro Andre was Passed to the Second Degree having been Initiated last May by our ProvGM Rt W Bro John Mark Clark. Andre is a prime example of one of the positives of Freemasonry, Andre was a nervous candidate as at his initiation. But to see him answering his questions makes all the members so proud to see Andre now.

Freemasonry has its own language and symbolism, which are used to convey moral and philosophical lessons.
Masonic symbols are drawn from a variety of sources, including biblical stories, architectural imagery, and the natural world. Some of the most common symbols used in Freemasonry include the square and compass, the level, and the plumb rule. The use of symbols, language, and rituals within Freemasonry is intended to help members explore and develop their own personal and spiritual growth, while also reinforcing the values of brotherhood, morality, and charity.

Being Nomadic, the lodge isn't tied to a Masonic Centre, but instead visits them all ensuring that the meeting date aligns with a location to "camp". Be it in a tent, caravan or camper. 

The lodge prides itself on having regular white table evenings and weekend get togethers, making it a family friendly lodge.

The idea to establish a Nomadic Lodge came from a number of members of Buckinghamshire Lodges who are, or who have been Camping, Caravanning or Motorhome enthusiasts for social, domestic and pleasure reasons. Such clubs have successfully been formed within the leisure industry and in this and other Masonic Provinces. Such a Lodge would have various positive aims
and benefits such as;

Reinforcing an historic link between camping and caravanning with Freemasonry and strengthening, improving and modernising that link particularly with regard to our charitable and fraternal ideals.

Introducing and promoting Freemasonry amongst Camping Enthusiasts within the leisure industry, a group with a long history that continues to grow and will certainly remain strong into the future.

Promoting Freemasonry amongst those who are, or have already been interested in camping and caravanning.

Demonstrating that Freemasonry is relevant within the realities of modern day life in regard to the leisure industry particularly regarding camping and caravanning.

Modern day life in the past five years has brought about a noticeable increase in campers, caravan and motorhome owners with the demand for “staycations”.

Rudyard Kipling.

Rudyard Kipling was well-known for his poems and novels, including The Jungle Book. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907.

He was born in India in 1865 and later lived in the UK. Kipling was initiated at the age of 20 in the Lodge of Hope and Perseverance No. 782 in Lahore in 1886.

He was immediately appointed the Lodge's Secretary because, as a young journalist, he possessed a typewriter. He later joined the Lodge of Independence with Philanthropy No. 391 in Allahabad.

Involved in the War Graves Commission after the First World War, he was a founder member of both Builders of the Silent City Lodge No. 12 (Grand Loge Nationale Francais) in St. Omer, France, in 1922, and Builders of the Silent Cities Lodge No. 4948 in London in 1925.

Sir Ernest Shackleton.

Explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton once famously said; "If you're a leader, a fellow that other fellows look to, you've got to keep going." He was born on 15 February 1874 in County Kildare, Ireland, but his family moved to London where Shackleton was educated.

Rejecting his father's wish that he become a doctor, he joined the merchant navy when he was 16 and qualified as a master mariner in 1898. He travelled widely, but was keen to explore the North and South poles. Shackleton visited the poles on three occasions and on the second occasion, Shackleton led his own expedition on the ship Nimrod. His team climbed Mount Erebus, made many important scientific discoveries and set a record by reaching closer to the South Pole than achieved before. On his return to Britain, Shackleton was knighted.

Shackleton's fourth expedition aimed to circumnavigate the Antarctic continent, but on 5 January 1922, he died after suffering a heart attack just off the coast of South Georgia.

Shackleton was initiated into Navy Lodge No. 2612 in London on 9 July 1901. 

He was elected an honorary member of the Lodge on 28 April 1914.
