What costs are involved in Freemasonry?
As with most organisations, annual subscription fees are payable. These vary from lodge to lodge, depending on the style of lodge. Membership in some lodges is expensive. However, fees of most lodges are reasonable and structured so as not to exclude any member of society. When first becoming a Freemason, a one-off fee is payable. After a few months, the new member will also need to buy (or obtain) a Masonic apron. He may also prefer to acquire the formal or semi-formal attire that most members wear at meetings.
