Interested in becoming a Freemason?

We’ve had a few people say they’re interested but don’t know where to start, so here’s the simple answer:

Freemasonry is built around four principles:

Integrity • Friendship • Respect • Service

It’s about meeting good people, making friends, helping others and getting involved in the community. There are nearly 100 Lodges across Yorkshire North & East, with all sorts of different interests and backgrounds.

You don’t need a family connection, or to already know a Freemason. Men over 18 can join regardless of background or religion. There are also female orders we can point you towards but at this time Driffield does not have a women’s or mixed lodge.

There’s a tonne of misinformation online. Speak to a Mason and just get an honest answer.

In Driffield? Interested in Sykes Lodge No. 1040?

What a night of darts 🎯 🎯

Fantastic turn out with 26 players all competing for the title!

Congratulations to Richard Andrew. He came runner up in the Plate competition.

Congratulations to Ollie Webster on winning the plate competition. Unbelievable darts throughout the night 👏👏

The cup runner Up was Stu Atkinson. Held his nerve going 3-0 down in the semi to bring it back 4-3 booking himself a spot in the final. And just missing out.

And our Mortimer Heritage cup winner is the brilliant Chris Manson!! He faced some tough opponents. His semi final against Rich Webster was an absolute corker!
Congratulations…. C.Manson will look good on the honours board 🙌🙌

An empty chair in the Lodge reminds us of a Brother now called to the Grand Lodge Above.

It is with deep sadness that Sykes Lodge No. 1040 reports the passing of Worshipful Brother Ivan M. Pick. Today, we remember a much-loved Brother whose presence enriched our Lodge for almost five decades, and whose memory will remain woven into the fabric of Sykes Lodge for generations to come.

Initiated into Sykes Lodge on 18th October 1978, Ivan devoted himself wholeheartedly to Freemasonry. He was a committed and respected Mason who achieved the Chair in Craft, Chapter, and Mark Masonry, serving his Brethren with humility, dedication, and an unwavering sense of duty. His commitment was recognised through numerous honours, reflecting the high regard in which he was held throughout his Masonic journey.

Within the Lodge, Ivan was renowned for his exceptional ritual work and was widely regarded as the finest ritualist Sykes Lodge has ever known. His delivery of the Exhortation and Charge in the Third Degree left a lasting impression on all who heard it, performed not merely from memory, but with sincerity, understanding, and reverence.

Beyond the ceremonial aspects of Freemasonry, Ivan played a significant role in the development of our Hall. As one of the “Fabulous Seven”, he helped drive the fundraising and construction of the bar and toilet extension opened in 1992, a project that remains an enduring testament to the vision, hard work, and commitment of those involved.

Above all, Ivan was a kind and faithful Christian gentleman, a trusted friend, and a wise counsellor. His gentle humour, cheeky smile, steadfast character, and willingness to help wherever needed made him a cherished figure among his Brethren and all who knew him.

His passing merit stands as a lasting testament to a life lived in service, sincerity, and faith. He will be sorely missed by family, friends, and Brethren alike, but remembered with affection, gratitude, and immense respect.

Our sincere condolences go to all who mourn his loss.

The funeral of W. Bro Ivan will take place @ Octon Crematorium on Thursday the 2nd of July @ 13:30. The family would be pleased to welcome all after service @ The Tritton Inn, Sledmere

Lay down your Working Tools, Brother, and Requiescat in pace.
