I went to Surrey's Provincial Grand Lodge on Wednesday, 23rd June 2016. I was promoted to the not-so exalted rank of Past Provincial Assistant Grand Sword Bearer, so if that sword is too heavy for the Prov Grand Sword Bearer I'll be the first to help him out.
I think that might be my last Grand Lodge meeting. They are pretty boring. Repetitive and prolix à l'outrance.

Well congrats anyway.
I have the same rank and if the other 400 don't turn up I have the gig.

The last time I was out with the Second Grand Pricipal of E.....
He had too much wine insisted my raincoat was his. Would not give it up, he is about 5 foot 7inch I am about 6 foot. I am about 3 stone heavier. But he sat on the minibus with the sleeves hanging off the end of his arms and still insisted he had the right coat.
The next moning the phone rang 'Bill have you got my coat ?'
Whats in a posh rank ?

I don't think it's just Surrey that likes all the bling and "awards". My 'umble Province is big on the "Past Provincial Assistant" awards as well. Well, it's an award/reward for some I suppose? But I do wonder what the motivation is?
