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 but should also run under Netscape. As some of the pictures featured are large, unless you have Broadband they may take some time to download - but well worth the wait.

Freemasonry

Obviously this is where to start and in this section you will not just find information about main stream Freemasonry but also about 'unusual' and 'less known' areas as well. Always on the lookout for something unusual if you know of other items that would be ideal for this area then please let us know.

Announcement - FREE advertising

Continuing the development of this web site and striving to be the premier site for Freemasons, we are pleased to announce the launch of our Classified Adverts service.

Over the coming weeks this service will be developed further and hopefully will become a major part in the success of this web site. All adverts are FREE but we respectfully ask that any commercial advertisers make a donation towards our running costs (this is not a requirement) to ensure the future of the site.

Take a look and place your advert today. All adverts will run for 30 days but can be re-submitted if required. If you would like to suggest any new categories we would love to hear from you. Click the link below to take you to FftM Classifieds.

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 Forum

IF YOU HAVE NOT YET CHECKED OUT OUR FORUM, NOW IS THE TIME TO DO SO

Our Forum has been open for nearly one year now and is becoming very popular. It is the ideal place for Freemasons to meet and discuss and for potential Freemasons to ask those 'questions' that have always bothered them.

There is a Private Area restricted to Freemasons working under UGLE who have been raised, and three separate areas for each degree that new Brothers can access on application in order to further their Masonic education and to converse with others of the same degree.

There is also a Guest Area that is open to all without having to register. This area is closely monitored but has proven most popular and contains some interesting postings.

The Trestle Board will possibly become the most visited area of the web site. An ideal place for research prior to becoming a Freemason and also an ideal area to increase your knowledge once you are.

UK-Masonry

Very much in it's infancy we have launched our moderated mailing list strictly for Freemasons. Designed to allow discussions via a mailing list that must be subscribed to we are offering a platform administered professionally and with good manners. It will be strictly controlled but from a different viewpoint to other similar lists on the Internet - to help members rather than punish them if mistakes are made. As in Freemasonry we all make mistakes but hopefully learn from them.

Articles

This is where you will find many articles of interest. Whether you are a Freemason looking for inspiration or perhaps considering Freemasonry you should be able to find something to stimulate you here. Obviously many of the articles will be influenced by Freemasonry, but many will also be about Freemasons, their adventures, their lives, their families and friends. In fact something for everyone.

Please submit any articles you feel would be useful to others or maybe consider writing one of your own. On this point if you specialise in some area of Freemasonry - the history, the ceremonies, the Officers, the side degrees etc. - and you would be prepared to be a regular contributor please get in touch, I would love to hear from you.

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.

Enjoy.
