    Not like they advertise for members, for that matter other than by invite I've no idea how people join.

    My experience

    I was a mason. I left after the novelty wore off. They were a great bunch of guys from all backgrounds. The big problem they have is membership because not enough youngsters are joining to replace the members literally dying.

    I didn't come across many who were in a position to hire contractors. If you wanted general advice on say accountancy, loss adjusting, medicine there were always brothers you could turn to.

    Anyway, this was just my experience from the lodge I was a member of and the lodges I visited. YMMV.

    You have been here how long and you still do not believe in a Superior Natural Being?

    Had an invite for one of them, and wondering what others experiences are, good way to contribute to local worthy causes? Good networking opportunities? Or just a bunch of geezers blowing hot air?
    I can sell you pairs of trousers with one leg shorter than the other.

    If that doesn't convince you to stay away, nothing will.
    You're thinking of the BNP

    True dat !! It would be the same situation with golf club members. I know because it happens in my golf club where quite a few members are in the police.

    He wasn't too impressed when I told him, 'Yates's Wine Lodge in the Bigg Market'
    Not that I believe it but the light relief occasionally is very welcome!
