By the early twentieth century it had become a more open, general society with aims "convivial, fraternal and philanthropic". The group was the first to practise Ritual s at Stonehenge in the historic period and adopted the site for ordination of its members on 25th August 1905 when around 700 Modern Druid s gathered at the monument to take oaths and welcome new acolytes. Later, the group shared the site with another organisation, the Church Of The Universal Bond . In 1935 the group held its 150th congress at Stonehenge and can still be reached today, listed under Druid s in the London Telephone Directory .
