What will it cost in time and money?

As with membership of any association or club there will be an annual fee as well as other incidental expenses about which you should inform yourself before joining. There will also be a time commitment in attending Lodge meetings, something that every member is expected to regulary do. For these reasons, and not least that recognised Freemasonry is restricted to male membership, candidates for Freemasonry are expected to have fully discussed the implications of their membership with their partners.
