If you have an interest in joining or re-joining Freemasonry, you have taken your first step in the right direction.
Freemasonry can be such a diverse interest and has the potential for a life long affair that gives back continually.
The beauty of how Freemasonry works is you only need to commit what you want or can, in time and effort. Tasks and roles are never forced upon you, Freemasonry will never ask you to place family, work or important interests ahead of what you want to get out of Freemasonry and how you can help Freemasonry in return.
Finding a Lodge to join is normally about location and meeting the existing members to help give you that understanding of who, where and when as lodges meet on different days, different locations, and with different goals or aims.
General information about Freemasonry in Norfolk is available here on the Norfolk Freemasons website or click here to read an online booklet about discovering Freemasonry in Norfolk.
If you are interested in joining Freemasonry, Doric Lodge would love to help you start that journey.
We have a saying of "Ask one to be one" or "To be one, ask one". This actually translates to the fact that a Freemason will traditional never ask you to join, but we happily talk about the many great aspects of Freemasonry and will then leave it up to you to make that first step.
If you have a connection to Wymondham and are genuinely interested in joining Freemasonry, you should, to avoid any embarrassment later, make yourself aware of the membership requirements below. Of course, if you already know any Freemasons then they too should be able to advise you.
Anyone offering himself as a candidate should be at least 18 years old, of good repute, and should be entirely assured in his own mind:
that he sincerely seeks intellectual and moral improvement for himself and others.
that he has a belief in a supreme being (God as you understand him).
that he is able to afford the necessary expenditure without detriment to himself or his connections.
that he has the financial ability to pay lodge subscriptions and contribute to charity, without having an adverse impact on his family. Please note there are one-off initiation/associated fees payable as well as Doric's annual membership fee.
that he is willing and able to devote part of his time, his means and his efforts, to the promotion of the aims of our ancient Institution.
that he is willing to make a commitment to attend Lodge meetings, rehearsals, socials and events.
that he will never seek commercial, social or pecuniary advantage from his membership.
