We attend local fetes and events and have a range of stands to suit the occasion. I don't see it as recruiting Masons in the sense of, ''come and join us, we're great' I see it more as 'here we are, ask us questions and hopefully you will be interested enough to want to look into it. For me, this is the very start of the future, there was a day when Freemasons paraded the streets and we're proud to tell of their Fraternity. Historical events and paranoia have conspired against us and what we need to do now is get people interested in Freemasonry, those who want to will take that first step, the others we are not concerned with particularly.
Recruitment is not about bums on seats, it's about information, openness and honesty. Our Fraternity is wonderful, it sells itself if you only open it up to the public.
My thoughts,
