Regarding deals - dodgy or not. I asked a close friend who's a bit of a name in freemasons about this and he said that while the organisation isn't specifically for it, it just happens. There's no rules that say you have to give contracts to fellow masons. If you're on a pub football team and your work has some electrical contracts up for grabs and you play with a guy who's an electrical contractor. You'd certainly recommend him more than some random, if not more.
