By making interesting evenings members enjoy themselves, have fun, and more likely to introduce new members. This book covers things that Lodges can do in their meetings when they don’t have young members going through the Degree ceremonies. We also discuss why it is important to explain what Freemasonry actually is to potential candidates, which leads us to another book by David: “Masonic Recruitment” which is an abridged version of “Things To Do When You Have Nothing To Do”. One option we discuss is that should membership fees only be payable once a candidate has progressed to be a Master Mason, because it’s only then that he is truly a member and knows what he has joined. We pick up our conversation with the process of how people became monks in the Order of St Benedict where entrants were continually asked if they really wanted to join over the course of year, and how this meant that by the time they did join they knew what they were joining and committed to it, and to do it well. This is part 2 of the conversation, if you haven’t already please listen to part 1 first: David is a member of St Laurence Lodge 5511 that is in the Province of Essex.
