Afternoon oaters!
Speaking to a geordie on holiday who is a mason, he didn't say too much but said he really enjoyed being a mason and that is can be "very adventageous".
I've looked into it a little & it sounds very interesting, if not a little secretive!
Is ther still a lodge in shelton / bottom of hanley?
Any masons on here?
Anyone know much about it?

Shelton Lodge still exists..although some Stokie Masons prefer Oakwell in Birmingham
Lots of ex-CID in there
Grand-Lodge is in London - Free Masonic Hall - in Covent Garden - very impressive building
Not a "Secret Society" more a Society with Secrets...
Instructional Evenings..Dinnering/Ceremony
Blue aprons with dangly bits
OOOH Suit You Sir

How do you know that Ilford, are you one?
Thats a bit of a myth actually
Masons I know spend a quite a bit of time fundraising for various charities..childrens disabilities in particular..making a contribution to the society they live in...a truly Socialistic notion being put into practice...
Far more valuable..than say...sitting around on a computer posting messages...without challenging misogynistic homophobic dross...which a true Socialist would

That's set my sunday morning off with a smile. It's the way you say it, wizzard. I'd give you some karma but I've just dished it out to someone else who's made me smile. OS. |

care to explain how you come to the conclusion that I am homophobic ? I resent the allegation which is completely false, and libelous
