Introduce the pleasures of motorcycling to our Masonic Brothers.
Raise Masonic Awareness in the world of motorcycling.
Support our regular Masonic lodges through regular attendance and assisting with or attending lodge events.
While we wear identifying regalia, or patches, the Widows Sons are not a biker gang, MC or 1% Club, we do not wear "Back Patches" but do wear the Square and Compass, on our breasts, near to our hearts.
We are required to represent the fraternity in a positive light at all times.
We have chapters throughout the United Kingdom, and each Widows Sons chapter is encouraged to sponsor or participate in local charity runs or events. In all cases, we strive to present a positive image of Freemasonry and our Association to the public.Â
We have active chapters throughout the United Kingdom, many States in the USA, Canada and throughout Europe.

Becoming a patched member
Once you join Freemasonry and work to your 3rd degree, we will then perform a ‘patching’ ceremony, which formally welcomes you as a Widows Son with our approved Masonic patch and a road name to be sewn onto your cut, which is not mandatory, but adds to the colour and symbolism of Masonic roots.
The only prerequisite is that you are a Master Mason in good standing (being a current and paid up member of a Lodge) and own a motorbike.
What if you are not a mason or family and friends
You do not have to be a Freemason to join our activities and to accommodate friends, family and interested persons, we have a sub-group called the "Bad-Pennies".
Is it a lodge meeting?
No, we are all about the riding! We have monthly, family friendly breakfasts and rideouts. All are welcome.
