Originally established in New York in 1842 the Sons of Temperance Friendly Society, and its ceremonies, quickly spread around the English-speaking world. However nowhere is the society still functioning in its traditional form.

■In Britain the society has had an outstanding record of service by providing friendly society saving plans and life insurance policies exclusively for teetotalers. The society has recently undergone a radical reorganisation. This frees the society from onerous regulations; reduces the ongoing expenses of running the society; and enabled the distribution of a large proportion of the assets of the society to those members with long term contracts.

■The reorganisation enables the society to concentrate on education and furthering the temperance cause. As a discretionary friendly society we are continuing our social, fraternal and educational activities. Former policyholders, as at 31 August 2007, are automatically entitled to continue to be members of the society.

■Despite what the society's name might suggest, the membership comprises both males and females. If you are teetotal you are invited to Join us!
