"TELL
ME SOMETHING ABOUT FREEMASONRY!"
A
frequently asked request! This short summary is designed
to give non-Masons a 'taste' of Freemasonry. The following
brief statements were created by a group of local
Masons in response to frequently asked questions and
queries about Freemasonry in general.
Freemasonry is Universal
| • |
By
becoming a Freemason you join a worldwide fraternity
with millions of members. |
| • |
We
meet together in Lodges. If you join you will
be able to visit Lodges in your locality or area
and in just about every major town and city in
England. There are Lodges throughout the rest
of the United Kingdom and many other countries
spread across the globe. |
| • |
Wherever
you choose to visit, as a Freemason, you will
be assured of a genuine welcome. |
Personal Development
Freemasonry will contribute to your personal development.
In particular your:
| • |
Social
skills through meeting and talking to people from
all walks of life; |
| • |
Organisational
skills through a participation in aspects of running
your Lodge; |
| • |
Self-confidence
by taking an active part in ceremonies. |
Whenever you want to try and do something in Freemasonry,
you will always find other Masons eager and willing
to help, if required.
Freemasons
Care
| • |
Freemasons
give millions of pounds every year to non-Masonic
charities. e.g. every hospice in the country benefits
annually from our donations. |
| • |
Freemasons
are committed to caring for each other and their
families, especially when help is necessary. |
When required, assistance is available from your
own Lodge and also from Masonic charities at regional
and national level e.g. dependent on individual
circumstances and needs, straight forward financial
aid toward medical help or ensuring that the children
of a Freemason receive an education appropriate
to their abilities.
Social Aspects
| • |
Freemasonry
will provide you with countless opportunities
to make new friends from all walks of life. |
| • |
As
Freemasons, we have a desire to enjoy ourselves
and help others. |
| • |
Masonic events and activities will provide you
and your family with ample opportunities to take
part, providing everyone the chance to make new
acquaintances and friends. |
At the local level you will find a wide variety of
social events such as informal dining nights, Ladies'
Evenings, BBQ's, Children's Christmas Parties, Garden
Parties, Bowls and Golf Tournaments, Computer Clubs,
Ladies Luncheon Clubs, Sportsman's Dinners, Wine Tasting
Evenings, etc. Regional events include the Annual
Ball, Caravan and Classic Car Rallies, Clay Pigeon
Shoots and Bowls and Golf Tournaments.
