Would you like to join Freemasonry?

A Freemasonry Lodge is, in effect, the modern version of what used to be a group of working stonemasons. These days, rather than stonemasons, a Lodge can be viewed as a social team whose common objective is to promote and share in the experience of pursuing the precepts and values of Freemasonry.

In doing so, they remain stonemasons at heart for, as metaphorical sculptors, they try to create in themselves better and more worthy individuals.

Its members gather to meet on a regular basis on pre-determined dates. Membership of a Lodge can vary from a handful of men, to well over a hundred ­ although it is most commonly in the range of 30 - 60. Collectively, the members are known as "Brethren".

A Lodge is strictly hierarchical, and is led by the "Master", called the "Worshipful Master". Officers - two "Wardens", two "Deacons", an "Inner Guard" and a "Tyler", support him.

Each year, a new Worshipful Master of the Lodge is elected and then appointed in a special installation ceremony. The purpose of the Wardens was, and still is, to assist the Master in the management of the Lodge.
