This is the second in the above series of three talks. It is aimed at new Freemasons and its purpose is to give an indication of what a new member might expect from Freemasonry in his early years, and the possible routes he might take to get the most satisfaction from his membership.

In the talk I explore the various activities and options open to a member, ranging from the progressive offices, through continuing offices and other support activities needed to make a Lodge successful in the 21st century. I also explain the role of other Orders and how a member can progress into Metropolitan / Provincial / District Grand Lodge office. Throughout I use everyday language and also introduce and explain commonly used Masonic jargon, to help new members make sense of the language of Freemasonry.
