# I like the idea of belonging to a secretive organisation
but don't they do charity work as well? Sod that.

or the round table. Fuck those fuckers!

# we aren't secretive, not in the slightest
It's not a secret society, it's a society with certain secrets,
pretty much operating in the same way as a golf club, say - but not with the funky plus-fours

# I didn't say it was a secret organisation
I said "secretive", as in there are secrets. Which there are.

Now get back to your secret organisation and do some secret stuff

# 2 grand?
/surely can't be to join a lodge?

# apparently so
not sure if it's lodge fees or mandatory charity donation

# blimey, we're nowhere near that
average lodge subs here are £100 annually, and a regular min. monthly donation of around £5 via DD or equivalent. There is also the collections at meetings etc and raffles, certainly no more than £25 per month on average for everything (in basic craft masonry), exc. the after-meeting meals and drinks.
