The Association of Medical, University and Legal Lodges (AMULL) is to hold its fifth festival in the splendid surroundings of Lincoln’s Inn on 17 September hosted
by Chancery Bar Lodge No. 2456.
AMULL brings together these professional Lodges, and the festival enables them to publicise their charitable and other works, which also involve wives and other non-Masons.
The Festival will be honoured by the presence of RW Bro Lord Millett, the Metropolitan Grand Master, who is a member of Chancery Bar Lodge.
About £3,000 is raised at the festivals – this year will be the fifth such event – and last year AMULL also donated a very rare surgical book from 1836 which was given to the Royal College of Surgeons, with which Freemasonry has had a long association.
AMULL aims to promote a bursary or prize scheme for undergraduates to help them with their studies, and there is already money available in a fund for this purpose.
A further step is a plan to build on this foundation and expand the concept to universities and the Craft outside London.
The universities were initially represented by Imperial College and London University, and there are now moves to involve provincial universities.
Previous September festivals have been held in the Great Hall at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, hosted by Rahere Lodge No. 2546; at Gray’s Inn, hosted by Gray’s Inn Lodge No. 4938; at Painters’ Hall, hosted
by Aesculapius Lodge No. 2410 and at the Royal College of Surgeons, hosted by
Royal Dental Hospital Lodge No. 7099.
Lincoln’s Inn Fields is in the heart of London, at Holborn, not far from Grand Lodge, and is the largest square in London, covering 12 acres, and was built by Inigo Jones in the 17th century.
