Just to whet your appetites, I thought I would share my plans for the Weekend.
On Thursday 4 of us are heading over to France arriving in Rouen in the evening, checking in to the Ibis Hotel and then out to a restaurant called the Toq d'or in The Jeanne of Arc Sq for a really great meal. Back to the hotel, Drinks, talking (lots) and possibly a game of Poker.
Friday, big day! We are having our 1st anniversary of our Mark Lodge. We are Advancing 3 brethren and then we are installing the new master. Back to the Hotel for our Festive Board (No danger of drink driving!).
Sat we are doing a demonstration of the 1st degree (original emulation ritual including all the ancient penalties). This is being carried out by our French WM who will attemt to perform the ritual in English, so it should be great fun. Then back to the Hotel for another festive board without again worrying about Drinking and driving!
Sunday back home with one or two headaches!
If anyone fancies a trip like this we do it 4 times a year! ;D ;D ;D

The Lodge was founded in 1916 by serving British/Comminealth Soldiers during WW1
The Chapter was consecrated 51 years ago.
And last January we Consecrated the First English speaking French Mark Lodge since the GLMMM of France was formed.
There are 4 English speaking mark Lodges at the moment under the juristiction of GLMMM of F. But as mentioned we are proud to be the first consecrated since they formed their own Grand Lodge. This was of course formed from GLof MMM of England Wales etc with thier blessing.
