Welcome

This web site is dedicated to the promotion of Freemasonry in the modern world and whilst it in the main relates to Freemasonry as practised under UGLE it also encompasses Masonic workings of other constitutions and hopes, over time, to become a major contributor to the advancement and encouragement of this fraternal, worldwide organisation.

Website

In the main this web site relates to Freemasonry overlooked by the United Grand Lodge of England, but this in no way will limit the site relating to articles, discussions, features and input other than all items must conform to basic Masonic principles. Submissions, however controversial, are encouraged and providing they add to the advancement of Freemasonry, will be considered for inclusion on the appropriate page.

The web site has been designed to run under Internet Explorer 7, Firefox, Netscape etc but should also run in other browsers. Some of the pictures featured are large, unless you have Broadband they may take some time to download - but well worth the wait.

Because of a recent virus in the software running this website it will no longer be updated but will be administered as normal.

Prestigious Website Awards

This Award will only be given to those websites who achieve the highest standards, not just in Masonic content, but in design, ease of use, educational etc. and because the standards are high, it will be valued by those sites awarded it and a useful aide to visitors.

Websites submitted for consideration will be viewed by an independent panel of Judges and their average scores will be used in making the final decision.

The Trestle Board

Running along side this web site is our Forum, The Trestle Board.

The Forum is open to all Freemasons from any constitution and also non Freemasons interested in joining or just curious. It will become a major source of Masonic information and debate so register today.

Screen Resolution

The display resolution of your computer’s screen determines how big or small the text and icons are.  The larger the resolution, the more information will be displayed on a single screen without having to scroll left and right using the scroll bars. 

The screen for this web site is designed for a display resolution of 1024 x 768.  If your display resolution is smaller than this, you may find that some items “disappear” off the right-hand edge of the screen sometimes.  The items are still there – you just have to use the scroll bar along the bottom of the screen to find them.

If this bothers you, you can see if your current computer equipment will support a larger screen resolution.  Most computers will normally have their display set to the maximum possible resolution supported by their hardware, so you may not be able to improve on what you already have.  Also, how you change these settings varies according to which operating system you are using.  For example, the procedure is slightly different for different versions of Windows. 

Basically, you need to find your way to the Control Panel application (usually Start/Control Panel), and then find the Display icon.  Double click on this icon, and find the Settings tab.  Change your resolution to a larger setting, and see if that solves the problem.
