LEICESTERSHIRE & RUTLAND SPORTS ASSOCIATIONS

LIGHT BLUES CYCLING CLUB

Established 2016 This cycling group is for Leicestershire & Rutland Freemasons members, including wives, girlfriends, partners and invited friends. The Leicestershire & Rutland Masonic Cycling Association was formed as part of the Tercentenary Celebrations taking place in 2017. We use a closed Facebook Group to share thoughts, ideas, stories and anything else to help motivate us to keep on pedalling! The club aims to meet up bi-monthly to organise a bike ride in the local countryside. For more information contact: cycling@lightblueclub.co.uk Recent highlights: June 2019 - Twenty cyclists from Leicestershire & Rutland, Nottinghamshire, and Derbyshire Freemasons raised over £7,000 in an 83 mile Charity Cycle Ride, in support of the Rainbows Children’s Hospice and the Masonic Charitable Foundation. September 2018 – Charity ride. 10 cyclists riding 150 miles over 2 days visiting all the Masonic Centres in Leicestershire & Rutland. Raised in excess of £6,500 for Rainbows Hospice and the Masonic Charity Foundation. 3 people cycled to all centres in a single day! June 2017 - Tercentenary ride: 22 cyclists cycling 300 miles in 4 days from Leicester to Great Queen Street, London, raising £23,400 for Rainbows Hospice and the Masonic Charity Foundation. Part of the trip they also visited all the Masonic Centres in Leicestershire & Rutland.



LIGHT BLUES RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB

Established 2016 The Light Blues RFC was founded during the summer of 2016 by a small group of masons from across the province. Their aim is to provide an opportunity for rugby loving masons to convene, whether playing, supporting or just watching and enjoying a beer or two. Whether playing or supporting everyone is assured of a very friendly welcome. It recognises that the values of Freemasonry and those of rugby were very similar and should be celebrated. Our mission is to help other provinces to form their own clubs, form alliances and arrange rugby fixtures both locally, across the country and indeed overseas. We also have a number of social events throughout the year that encourage participation in the club for existing members or those contemplating joining freemasonry If you would like to be involved with the Light Blues or would like assistance forming your own club then please CLICK HERE and Select LBC Rugby under Who to contact.
