The Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes founded in the 1820's is a Charitable Organisation which is active, not only in its local community, but, at all levels of Society. It is non-political, nor does it look to religion to inspire participation. It does, however, inspire members to commit to a peaceful and meaningful way of life. It is often described as an extended family, a social organisation or a mutually supportive group of like-minded people; each true in its own way, they do not adequately describe the true picture: that is painted on a much larger canvas.

We are not a 'Secret Society' but we do have our Secrets,which are traditional and intrinsic with the Order and are passed on as Members go further in their Buffalo career.Our rules and ceremonies are in the public domain.Our Order is steeped in history,much more information is available but to go in too deep at this stage would only serve to confuse.
