UGLE is normally very loth to grant warrants to brand new Lodges. If a group writes in asking to create a new Lodge, UGLE suggests that the potential founders should take over the warrant of a struggling existing Lodge. There are about 6,800 Lodges in UGLE, and many are struggling.
HOWEVER, the most recently founded Lodge I can find is Lodge #9986. (See www.southwalesmason.com/the-consecration-of-a-new-lodge-welsh-rugby-clubs-lodge-no-9986/ )
Do you see? Lodge Number 9986. Although only 6800 of that 9986 are active, it still means there are only 14 more Lodges left to be founded until we reach the magic 10,000 figure! That's 104!
So NOW is the time to found a Lodge! UGLE would let anyone found a Lodge about anything... Even Channel 4's Come Dine With Me Fans Lodge... ANYTHING.What would be the name of the Lodge that YOU would be a founder member of?

Don't forget that, of those 3000-odd inactive Lodges, many have transferred from UGLE to their local Grand Lodge.
I know that in my Province, we have a Football Lodge, a Rugby Lodge, a Sailing Lodge, an Aviation Lodge, a Motorcyclists Lodge, a Motor Sports Lodge, and a Scouting Lodge - no doubt I've missed one...
But I'm not aware of any Amateur Radio Lodges...

The number 10000 has already been allocated by the Big House but I do not know to whom. The Surrey united Services Lodge has been allocated 9999 and will be consecrated when we are allowed to have a nice big party.

Luckily I will be in the area and might be able to attend Lodge 10,000's founding.

With the continuing Lockdown, it would have to be the Virtual Lodge 10240 (nod to 10K bytes).
With membership via secure video conferencing. Some adaptation of ritual may be required?
