enjoyable day and the event raised over £10,000 for national, Masonic and local charities.
During the year the Old Oundelian Lodge made charitable contributions for the Old Oundelian Lodge Bursary, Oundle Community First Responders and the Metropolitan Grand Charity that is raising funds for two extended height aerial vehicles for the London Fire Brigade.
The Old Oundelian Lodge gives its members a great deal of pleasure both in terms of its Masonic fraternity and also the spirit and community that arises from the fact that we have all experienced life at Oundle School in its various aspects and over many years.
Our members include Sandy Rowell (C 04), Peter Seebohm (Sc 02), Rob Shaw, Iain Wadie (Sn 87), Philip de Voil, Dom Vincent (Lx 82), Howard Allen, Peter Hotchin (C 72), Geoffrey
Woolsey-Brown (Lx 66), David Turner (S 66), Graham Solari (G 65), Charles Kilner (St A 59), Michael Hammon (Sn 56), Michael Turnbull (Sc 55), Paul Newsome (St A 55), David Thorpe (Ldr 53), Bill Whittall (Ldr 52), John Brooke (C 47), Kevin Chawner (B 47), Harvey Greenough (Sc 46) and David Collins (S 45). One of our members, Tom Blackburn (Sn 50), is looking forward to celebrating 60 years in Freemasonry in October. We would be pleased to hear from anyone wanting to become a joining member or a candidate new to Freemasonry.
Our regular meetings are held in London at Freemasons Hall, Great Queen Street, on the fourth Thursday in February, April and October. Members of the Craft are most welcome to join us, as are male Old Oundelians, their fathers and members of staff, both past and present who
may be interested in becoming involved in Freemasonry. There are also Women’s Freemasonry organisations but not an Old Oundelian Ladies Lodge yet.

Freemasonry has moved to a new and welcome phase of increased openness, with our charitable aims and activities being publicised through traditional and new media. The Craft’s aims and objectives are available to a worldwide audience via the website of The United Grand Lodge of England (www.ugle.org.uk).
