Ladies Night Speech (Freemasons) PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
51 Answers
Please can someone help. I have been seeing a FM now for a little over a year and he recently asked me if i'd like to attend a Ladies Night. My biggest concern at first was that i don't know anyone but after talking to someone that attended one recently, i have now found out that you are asked to do a speech and its compulsory!!! This is not good as i suffer from epic panic attacks when placed in situations like this. Needless to say i am absolutely bricking it and just need to know if for any reason i will have to give a speech? Thanks :)

Why ban the Freemasons Doc? If people enjoy socialising in such a manner why should someone else advocate them being banned?! There are too many people meddling in other peoples' lives today. Freemasons are harmless enough and they give a lot of money away to many varied causes every year. Although the media don't like to feature it, the Masons are usually amongst the first to donate to international disaster relief such as eartthquakes.
As I said, I'm not a Mason but my father is. He's 80 and he spends five or more nights a week travelling around lodges and has been Master of one. He's now a Knight Templar which is one of the highest ranks of Freemasonry. I can't find much to criticise Masons for and I know they do a lot of good. There's no reason to ban them.

Well said Andyvon, I think the Masons are very misunderstood, maybe the rituals are a bit strange, but as you say they give a lot to charity.
Would disagree about the long evening dress though, at the Ladies Night I went to, all the men wore tuxedos but I would say that most of the women wore cocktail type dresses rather than full length.

I'd talk to myself round the house practising things to say, what they may ask or how best to say thank you, get to know your own voice and how to talk at different volumes in case the rooms large or noisy, I suppose if peeps are right and you just say quick thank you to the important people it may be worth finding out their names in advance so you don't forget.
