Freemasonry promotes friendship and responsible citizenship - most Masons are highly sociable individuals. It instils in its members a moral and ethical approach to life.
It seeks to reinforce thoughtfulness for others, kindness in the community, honesty in business, courtesy in society and fairness in all things.
Members are urged to regard the interests of the family as paramount but, importantly, Freemasonry also encourages and facilitates consideration for others, care for the less fortunate and help for those in need.
Lodge meetings are both enjoyable and rewarding and many life-long friendships are made and sustained between men brought together by Freemasonry

We believe in friendship as a force for good in society; in tolerance and equality; in helping those less fortunate than ourselves; and in the importance of integrity in all of our dealings with others.
Masons are encouraged to speak openly about Freemasonry as long as they are not trying to use their membership to create an advantage for themselves.
Membership is open to all men of good public record, strict morals and integrity, who believe in God.
There are no other requirements, and members come from all walks of life and all types of ethnic, social, economic and educational backgrounds, occupations and religions.
Freemasonry sets its members very high standards of behaviour and masons are forbidden to use their membership to gain any form of material benefit or advantage for themselves.
Membership offers no monetary advantages or preferment. To emphasise our beliefs and values every new Freemason follows the same path through a short series of ceremonies that use traditional stonemasons' work and tools to illustrate moral lessons and ethical behaviour.

The origins of Freemasonry are uncertain and historians disagree about how the modern masonry came into being. There are two principal but differing views. One suggests that it emerged directly from the medieval guilds and lodges of the stone masons who built the great cathedrals and castles of the period.
The other proposes that gentlemen intellectuals, influenced by the discourses of enquiry in the Enlightenment years of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, adopted the organisation and working practices, implements and accoutrements of the stone masons as an appropriate framework for the purposes of moral development.
Whatever the truth of the origins, however, the objectives remain the same - to foster a high moral and ethical approach to life and to encourage thoughtfulness for others, kindness in the community, honesty in business, courtesy in society and justice in all things.
It also aims to facilitate friendship and to encourage its members to serve the community and to practise universal charity.

The benefits of membership are intangible and masons discover and realise them in different ways.
Some enjoy participating in the ceremonial parts of our meetings and being part of an organisation with a long and honourable history, others enjoy studying the symbolism and philosophy of Freemasonry
All, however, find rewards in the friendship and warmth of our meetings and events, be they formal or informal.
Many Freemasons join because they have colleagues, friends or family who are already members and they wish to join an organisation with which people whom they admire are associated. We have many members with family connections to Freemasonry over several generations.
Most new members have an incomplete understanding of the aims and practices of masonry and so, when a lodge accepts a new member, mutual trust is being put to the test. Both parties hope that their high expectations of the other will be met.
We expect our members to exhibit a caring and tolerant attitude towards others and to have high standards of personal behaviour and integrity in all their dealings in their private and professional lives.
Our aim is to make ourselves better individuals and better members of society and we believe that learning about ourselves must be the starting point of that metaphorical journey.

The first condition of admission into, and membership of, the Order is a belief in the Supreme Being. This is essential and admits of no compromise.
The Bible, referred to by Freemasons as the Volume of the Sacred Law, is always open in the Lodges.
Every Candidate is required to take his Obligation on that book or on the Volume which is held by his particular creed to impart sanctity to an oath or promise taken upon it.
Everyone who enters Freemasonry is, at the outset, strictly forbidden to countenance any act which may have a tendency to subvert the peace and good order of society; he must pay due obedience to the law of any state in which he resides or which may afford him protection, and he must never be remiss in the allegiance due to the Sovereign of his native land.

If you meet a few simple requirements and you are a sociable individual; if you value the ideas of tolerance and friendship;
if you willingly help those less fortunate than yourself and consider integrity, honour and duty to Queen and country to be essential qualities of all good citizens everywhere, then you will find membership of a masonic lodge with like-minded individuals highly enjoyable and rewarding.
High standards are expected of members and those transgressing them may make themselves liable to masonic sanctions or expulsion from the organisation.
Charity is not the reason for our existence but it is one result of putting our masonic principles into practice.
