Why 'Bundle of Sticks'
In June 2013 my wife and I attended Seaford Lodge’s Ladies Weekend in Bath, it was a great weekend all round not least due to one of those very, very late night bar conversations which, for me, was the instigation of the Bundle of Sticks Lodge No. 9912. . . .
Bonfire boys & Masonry
Linked to bonfire, steeped in history..
It cannot go unnoticed the similarities between masonry and bonfire societies. Both raise incredible amounts for charity and share a common bond, a brotherhood if you will.
So what does it mean to be a Freemason...?
You are a Freemason at heart when you believe in the three core ideals of Freemasonry - Brotherly Love, Charity and Truth. There are different ways of defining these but for most in our fraternity the most useful definitions are:
Brotherly Love: Care and affection for my fellow humans, be they Freemasons or not. We're all part of one big family.
Charity: understanding that I have responsibilities, first to my family, then to my connections (Friends, colleagues, employees etc) and then to everyone else. This means I have a responsibility to help those I can, when I can. Not just formal charity, but any act of support or kindness.
Truth: This is about morality. Regardless of the source you hold for morality, Freemasons are expected to be good men. To act within the law, to be good citizens and to act at all times as they would want others to.
Of course, these ideals are not unique to Freemasonry, there are many ways we can each work to be better.
The future of Masonry needs you..

The journey of a lifetime
Becoming a Freemason is like going on a journey: from joining as an Entered Apprentice, it typically takes one or two years to become a Master Mason, with each of the three stages marked by a special ceremony.
Am I eligible?
Any man over the age of 21 may join regardless of ethnic group, political views, economic standing or religion although he is expected to have a faith. Students over 18 can join one of 73 Universities Scheme Lodges. UGLE oversees lodges in England, Wales, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, whilst Scotland and Ireland have their own Grand Lodges.
