The day itself was one to remember; particularly by bro. Eric, who have been waiting patiently for this day to finally come. Though nervous, he went through this hallowed ceremony with dignity. Though a very personal ceremony, they were not alone, for they had the company of those brethren both lodge member and visitor alike watching over and guiding them, through a day that they will always remember.
Brethren, do not forget that our fraternity puts great store in its ability to help those in need, both our Masonic family and those outside who have fallen on difficult times.
Every Masonic lodge has an almoner whose role it is to ensure the wellbeing of its members and its local community.
As your Lodge Almoner I wish to remind you that my role is still active during this unprecedented time and if any of you wish to contact me I shall do my best to assist personally or by contact with those better able than I to help you.
Should you wish to ‘Go it alone‘ and that is absolutely fine, you can get contact details from the Provincial and Grand Lodge websites both of which can be accessed from the links on this, our own lodge website.
Stay safe, healthy and happy.

Carrying on from our success of our last meeting, the university of Birmingham lodge was able to initiate a further two more brethren into our honourable craft. To further make this day even more special, we had with us some very special visitors to witness this wonderful event. We had with us member of Apollo lodge, Oxford University’s university lodge. This was very special for us as the University of Birmingham lodge is a daughter lodge of Apollo and so to have visitors from there after many years was a great treat for all those involved.
Another successful triple initiation was carried out at Severn St Masonic Temple this Saturday 18th February. The members at the University of Birmingham lodge once again navigated the logistical mine field of a triple initiation to pull off yet another memorable ceremony, welcoming three more entered apprentices to the lodges growing ranks.
On the 30th of October, the Severn street masonic hall will be having a open day. This Open day, will be in partnership with Athol Lodge and will give a change for Uni students and the wider public to see inside one of Birmingham oldest masonic halls.
The University of Birmingham lodge, will have members at attendance at this events. This will be a chance for the public to learn about Freemasonry and learn more about the University of Birmingham lodge’s rich history as the University’s masonic lodge.
As Worshipful Master of the University of Birmingham Lodge No 5628, may I welcome you to our webpage.
I feel honoured to have been installed into the chair of 5628, and it is a distinct pleasure to be Worshipful Master of my university lodge. The lodge is a member of the Universities Scheme which allows members to join at the age of eighteen rather than the twenty one as with non Scheme Lodges, and has a number of enthusiastic younger Masons helping to keep the more experienced brethren enthused and “on their toes”. Membership is not however restricted to the students or graduates of the University of Birmingham, and we welcome applicants of good character who are aged eighteen or over and who have a belief in a Supreme Being.
We are always pleased to see visitors from other Lodges (or indeed other Constitutions) and you will always receive a warm welcome from the members.
Our meetings are on the third Saturday mornings of September, November, February and April at Severn Street Masonic Rooms in the centre of Birmingham the timings of which were historically linked to the academic year. Extra meetings in addition to our scheduled meetings are not however unusual if our workload demands it.
If you are interested in applying to join or are a member of another Lodge who wishes to visit please contact the Lodge Secretary whose email address can be found on this webpage.

On the 17th of February 2018, we had the honour of initiating bro. Erik Alexander Leon-Henneberg in the Univerity of Birmingham lodge no. 5628.
As always the master, wardens and officers of the lodge, conducted a flawless initiation and with the help of all involved pulled off a very memorable ceremony. Hopefully one that our newly made brother will, we hope look fondly on, as he proceeds down his masonic path.
On the 13th of May 2017, we had the honour of raising bros Ashworth and Robertson to the Sublime degree of Master Masons.
