Borne from a desire for somewhere to practice and discuss our lovely Allied rituals, the District's first ever meeting of its Council of Improvement was held on 30 January at Mark Masons' Hall.

The attendees proceeded to work the Degrees of St Lawrence the Martyr and Knights of Constantinople, under the helpful eye of the Preceptor WBro Roger Keys. Everyone agreed it was a very well-worth evening as, in addition to practicing the ritual, the brethren were able to ask questions and analyse the Degrees further.

The COI meets on the last Tuesday of every month at 7pm. If you would like to learn more about the Allied Masonic Degrees, or perhaps are a Council Officer who wants to brush up on your ritual, then why not come along? For more details please contact either the Preceptor (Roger Keys), the Secretary (Vincent Fattorusso) or look at the District website.
