Buckinghamshire North East Corner Club Buckinghamshire first identified the need to find a better way of imparting knowledge to less experienced Masons back in the nineties. We started with Initiates. This proved very popular, but the method proved to have limitations. The methodology was too formal, another too full of presentations.
