2. Is it a "secret" society?
No, absolutely not. Secret societies are usually sinister groups that exist "underground" to avoid detection. By no stretch of the imagination, can Freemasonry be regarded as that - much as some would like to claim it is!!
We make no pretences about our existence, what our objectives are, where we meet and when. In fact we want everyone to know as much as possible about Freemasonry. We'd like you to visit us, chat with us and discuss any aspect you wish.
But as with any organisation there are elements we want to keep private. It is solely those things which, if made freely available, would destroy the sequence of the unfolding story - the amazing journey of self-discovery and learning that Masons value so highly.
