About the NMVA
Our aim is to forge links with like-minded specialist Lodges and Masonic Car Clubs and indeed where none such exist in the area even individuals. These are comprised of vehicle-oriented members, keen to promote the interests of Freemasonry amongst their members. We also aim to
- Encourage membership in general and greater Masonic contacts
- Providing a common support and networking group
- Arrange and facilitate events, trips and inter Lodge visiting.
Details of the individual lodge/club meetings and social functions will be circulated to members. This will encourage inter-visiting which will:
- Give both the younger and the more experienced Mason the opportunity of witnessing a wider variety of Masonic rituals and practices
- Help form new friendships and contacts across a wide geographical area
- Share in a common interest and passion for motor vehicles.
The Association will also provide the opportunity for members and Lodges to join together for social functions such as visits to places of interest or other vehicle-related events. These will result in stimulating interest and awareness of and about Freemasonry in general in their own right. The association is intended to be an informal grouping to help develop and mutually support the enjoyment of vehicle-themed special interest groups.
The Association is made up of vehicle special interest Lodges and Clubs from across England and Wales.
