Women Freemasons to share Scunthorpe open day with male colleagues

For the first time ever in Lincolnshire women Freemasons will share an Open Day with their male colleagues at Scunthorpe on Saturday July 27th.

That’s when the Freemasons Hall on Normanby Road in the town will be open for members of the public to view the room in which members meet, see the regalia they wear, and ask whatever questions they’d like.

The inclusion of women in the day is a step forward, but women in Freemasonry is nothing new – women have been Freemasons for more than 100 years, and meet in this region at Grimsby, Scunthorpe, and Lincoln.

Says organiser Dave Gibson: “A great deal of myth and misinformation surrounds Freemasonry; some of it based on rumour and heresay, and some merely a reflection of others’ beliefs. By staging an open day we want to let visitors discover the real story.

“They’ll be able to discover the history of Freemasonry in Scunthorpe, which goes back to 1885, understand our regalia, which is in effect a uniform, and share a cup of coffee or tea with us. Everyone’s welcome, and there’s no charge.

“We look forward to welcoming lots of visitors between 10am and 2pm.”
