Widows Sons MBA Taurus Chapter Ta**us Chapter – Widows Sons (Herefordshire)
Freemasons united by brotherhood, charity & a love of motorbikes. Monthly ride-outs. Recognised by UGLE. Ride safe.

Welcome to the Ta**us Chapter – Widows Sons Masonic Biker Association – Herefordshire

We are the Ta**us Chapter, the official Widows Sons group for Freemasons in Herefordshire who share a passion for motorcycling, brotherhood, and charitable outreach. As part of the internationally recognised Widows Sons Masonic Biker Association, and proudly aligned with the only UK association recognised by the United Grand Lodge of England, we aim to:
• Ride together as brothers and promote friendship and support among fellow Freemasons
• Raise Masonic awareness within the wider biking community
• Support local charitable causes through our presence, rides, and events
• Assist and strengthen our local Lodges however we can

Ta**us holds regular ride-outs, events, and meetups – with full members and associate Greenhorns welcome. We’re not an MC or 1% club – we wear our Square and Compass near our hearts, not on our backs, and always represent the Craft with pride, integrity, and good humour. Whether it’s a countryside ride, a rally weekend, or simply breakfast and banter with brethren, Ta**us is forging strong bonds on and off the road. Ride true. Ride together.

🐂🏍️ RIDE TO THE WALL 2026 – REMEMBRANCE & RESPECT 🏍️🐂

What a day yesterday.

Ten of us met in Ross-on-Wye at 7am ready to head up to the 19th annual Ride to the Wall at the National Memorial Arboretum.

And it was great to have a familiar face properly back amongst us — our Tyler Indian, back on the bike after being off the road for around two and a half months following his leg injury. 👏🏍️

After the usual greetings, a quick chat and everyone getting waterproofed up — because the weather wasn’t looking particularly friendly — we got underway.

First stop was Hopwood Services, where we met up with the guys from Worcestershire Chapter. They decided to crack straight on towards Tamworth while Ta**us made the sensible decision…

Breakfast. 😂

We won’t mention our Charity Steward Craiger accidentally knocking our Vice President’s coffee clean off his tray in the middle of the services…

Actually, yes we will. 😂😂☕

Breakfast finished, the weather was improving, waterproofs came off and we headed for Tamworth Masonic Hall.

By the time we arrived, Widows Sons Chapters from around the country were already gathering. It was brilliant catching up with brothers and friends we hadn’t seen since the National Rally, as well as plenty we see more regularly.

Then came the part we’d all been waiting for.

At 11am, following a ride brief, hundreds of Widows Sons took to the road together, heading towards the National Memorial Arboretum.

What a sight. 🏍️🏍️🏍️

The ride was brilliantly organised and when we arrived, thousands upon thousands of motorcycles were already pouring into the Arboretum.

But once the bikes were parked, the reason we were all there came firmly into focus.

Remembrance and Respect.

At 1pm, the Widows Sons gathered at the Freemasons’ Memorial to remember those who served our country and those who never came home.

A quiet moment of prayer and reflection before joining everyone else for the main service.

And what a service it was.

Moving, emotional and a reminder of exactly what Ride to the Wall is really about.

Yesterday also carried some very personal thoughts for members of Ta**us.

It would have been our VP Joker’s son Marcus’s 31st birthday. Marcus sadly passed away aged just 16 in 2011, and we know Joker’s thoughts were very much with him throughout the day. ❤️

Our Charity Steward Craiger also had someone particularly close in his thoughts. His son Ewan — better known to many of us as Hunter and one of our own — serves in the Royal Navy and has just left for a six-month deployment.

Different circumstances, but a reminder that behind the uniforms, memorials and names are real people and real families.

After the service, it was time to head home.

Getting thousands of bikes, along with cars and buses, out of the Arboretum was never going to happen quickly! The volunteers did an absolutely fantastic job managing an incredible number of people and vehicles, and after around 45 minutes we were finally back on the road.

A quick fuel stop and then homeward bound in glorious sunshine, with everyone gradually peeling off as we got closer to Herefordshire.

A fantastic ride.

A fantastic event.

But above everything else, a day to remember why we were there.

To remember those who can no longer ride by our side.
To honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
And to support those who continue to serve.

We’ll actually be back at the National Memorial Arboretum later this month, when members of Ta**us will take the Herefordshire Freemasons wreath ready for the November remembrance service.

Until then…

We will remember them. ❤️

🎃 RIGHT… WHO’S ACTUALLY COMING TO THE MONSTER MASH THEN?

We’ve been banging on about it for a while now, but Halloween is getting bloody close and it’s time to start getting some names on the list! 😂

Saturday 31st October, Hereford Rowing Club — Ta**us Monster Mash Ball.

We’ve deliberately kept the tickets at £20 a head and that includes your curry, because we want this to be a good, affordable night where people can get together, have a few drinks, have a laugh and enjoy themselves.

You don’t have to dress up. If you want to go all out for Halloween, brilliant — there’ll be prizes for the best costumes. If fancy dress isn’t your thing, come exactly as you are. Nobody cares. 😂

And this isn’t just for Widows Sons or Freemasons either.

Bring your wife, husband, partner, mates, family, workmates… whoever you fancy. You don’t have to know anyone before you arrive.

We’ve had some brilliant Ta**us nights over the last couple of years and we’d really like to make this another one.

So if you’ve seen the posts and thought “yeah, we’ll probably do that” — give one of us a shout and actually get yourselves booked in. 😉

🐂🏍️ ONE OF THE LAST RIDES OF THE SEASON 🏍️🐂

With the riding season beginning to wind down, it was time for our September Official Ride.

With Road Captain Man Down and our Tyler Indian still out of action — although hopefully not for much longer… watch this space 😉 — our VP Joker stepped in to organise this month’s run.

The plan was simple: meet at Asda Hereford at 9am, stands up at 9:30, breakfast at Toast in Flyford Flavell, then on to the National Motorcycle Museum.

And for once, everyone was early! 😂👏

After a quick road brief, we headed off and had a cracking run over to Toast.

There was just one slight problem…

When we arrived, some sort of car meet was taking place and the place was absolutely rammed. There was no chance of getting us all in!

Luckily, Toon, President of Worcestershire Chapter, and Cato had ridden over to meet us and suggested Bluebell Farm just ten minutes away.

Problem solved. 👍

Back on the bikes we went…

And almost immediately the heavens opened! 🌧️😂

A slightly soggy Ta**us eventually arrived at Bluebell Farm, where we finally got the breakfast we’d been waiting for.

And apparently Yorkshire pudding with a cooked breakfast actually works! Who knew? 😂

Fed, watered and slightly warmer, it was back on the bikes and off towards the National Motorcycle Museum.

Of course, it couldn’t be completely straightforward…

The HS2 roadworks threw in about a 20-minute detour, but eventually we made it.

And it was well worth the journey.

The museum is a fantastic place. Walking around, you can’t help but appreciate the incredible history of the British motorcycle industry and just how much has changed over the years. 🇬🇧🏍️

A couple of hours exploring — and naturally a slice of cake before leaving 🍰 — then it was back on the road for home.

A little damp.

A little cold.

But another cracking day out with good mates. 🐂

And we’re not quite finished yet…

Next Saturday, a few of Ta**us are heading to Tamworth Masonic Hall, where we’ll meet up with Widows Sons from other Chapters before riding together to the National Memorial Arboretum for Ride to the Wall.

Thousands of bikers coming together to remember and pay their respects to our fallen servicemen and women while raising funds to support the Arboretum.

That one’s going to be something special. ❤️

Keep an eye on the page next week.

🐂🏍️ THE SEASONS CHANGE… THE BROTHERHOOD DOESN’T

There’s definitely a change in the air. 🍂

The evenings are getting darker, the temperatures are starting to drop and those long summer days out on the bikes are gradually becoming fewer.

It doesn’t mean the bikes are being locked away just yet! 😂🏍️

There are still rides to be had whenever the weather gives us the opportunity.

But this time of year also marks another change for many of us at Ta**us.

Lodge season is getting back into full swing. 🎩

And that’s an important part of who we are.

People often discover Ta**us because they see the motorcycles, the cuts and a group of mates enjoying themselves on the road.

But underneath all of that is Freemasonry.

We’re Freemasons who happen to share a passion for motorcycles.

Throughout the summer you’ll find us together on ride-outs, at rallies, events and usually somewhere drinking far too much coffee. ☕😂

As autumn and winter arrive, you’ll increasingly find many of those same faces meeting one another in Masonic Lodges across Herefordshire and beyond.

Different clothes.

Different surroundings.

Same friendships.

Same values.

Same Brotherhood.

And then, before we know it, spring will arrive, the evenings will get lighter and the bikes will start appearing outside the Lodge again. 🏍️

That’s one of the things we love about being Widows Sons.

The riding might be seasonal.

The Brotherhood isn’t. 🐂
