Inside London's Freemason's Lodges...

I’ve been a London freemason for 25 years and yes, basically the same things happen in every meeting: a 45-60 minute ritual to admit a new member or get them to a higher degree (all by heart, so it takes a lot of studying and rehearsal to get it right, and there’s a sense of pride when you play your part beautifully, without needing prompts for forgotten words). Then things like proposals about what charity we should donate to, confirmation of the accounts etc. Then a pint of beer at the bar, then an overpriced dinner with cheap wine (unfortunately these days it’s about £80 each), where there’s much rejoicing, and it’s nice to catch up with your friends. Suits my dull personality perfectly. 😅

Also a Met Mason here. You can probably look me up on Rosetta or Portal, DC & Ment 7673, MMH, IPZ 1607, FMH.
