Do I need to live in Bulle?
No. Several members come from far away, usually towards the end of the evening.
Is the Brotherhood open to everyone?
Yes. The founders do admit, however, that some traditions are more practical for some people than for others.
What should I bring?
Nothing in particular. Arriving well hydrated is enough.
Are the ceremonies authorised by the town?
