Is Freemasonry an Open Society?

Yes. Our Constitutions (rule book) are available for anyone to read, our meeting places are well advertised and often used by other community groups, our headquarters is open to the public and has free tours, we have web sites for the curious, and you can even ring us up.

If anyone thinks we are not open, they clearly haven’t been looking very hard! We are, however, subject to the same data protection rules as other clubs and societies and so cannot publish membership lists.
