Every Freemason has his own reason for joining:
“My dad was a Freemason, as was my grandfather, so you could say Masonic life is a tradition in my family.”
“My wife and I attended a Ladies Evening and we enjoyed the evening so much I decided I wanted to become a Freemason”
“I was very surprised by how welcoming everyone was, it seemed like I had belonged all my life.”
“The long, rich history of the Craft interested me.”
“Masonry is a fantastic way to do some good, to help others and make some really good friends.”
“Freemasonry has helped build my confidence enabling me to tackle challenges I used to shy away from.”
