More than 200 head-turning vehicles flock to ‘Meet the Freemasons’ event at Doddington Hall

More than 200 cars, vans, and motorbikes flocked to Doddington Hall for the now-annual Masons & Motors event staged by Lincolnshire Freemasons.

From near-extinct ‘home grown’ family saloons like the Morris 1800 ‘Landcrab’ and a Maestro (remember those?), to American muscle cars the length of baby battleships, they were all there, with fanciful other vehicle in between.

There was also a BMW-powered motorcycle that younger visitors speculated might be a helicopter, or custom vans, classic British sportscars,  and even a Tuk-Tuk, in leopard-print bodywork and driven all the way from Stamford.

The event is the brainchild of Scunthorpe Freemason Dave  Gibson, who said: “Thanks to everyone for attending and those who acted as stewards to make it all run smoothly. We had at least 180 vehicles, which made for a great day in great weather.” He was also grateful for the team at Doddington Hall, who’d allowed us to use their venue. Said Dave: “It’s a great central location for the Province, and I’d like to thank the Doddington Hall team for providing a backdrop for what’s now become an annual event.”

The Freemasons Communications Officer Stuart Pearcey said: “Events like this are the perfect way for members of the public to meet the Freemasons and find out what a friendly bunch we are. Not only that, but it may spark an interest in Freemasonry, with people finding common ground to make new friendships, and find out what they can achieve through the benefits of membership – all of which information is on the Lincolnshire Freemasons web page.”

NEXT YEAR’S EVENT is already booked: July 20th, 2025, at Doddington Hall.
