Hello Brethren, happy to say last night (Burns night) I have finally passed my second degree. It was such an amazing experience and the festive board was superb !!! Looking forward to the next step

Also Cant wait to see the 2nd degree ceremony on the 25th March which is going to be held at UGLE.

 

Congrats Brother! that's pretty fast for UGLE isn't it?

 

Dont know...everybody seems to be getting through their degrees within a year.

 

That's great Brother. Congratulations!

 

Congratulations. By "held at UGLE" do you mean at Great Queen Street? Beautiful building that I'd love to have a tour of when I get a chance. I've only seen it from the outside.

Not particularly. The only stipulation is 28 days between the degrees (unless you get a dispensation.)

My ceremonies were held at consecutive meetings. The only reason my third was several months after my 2nd was that my lodge goes dark during the summer months.

 

Oh...i thought UGLE had longer time's

Yep this is the one. I seriously cant wait. Meant to go and see it last year before my initiation and I am glad I didnt as I would probably missed the 300th anniversary

 

same as mine, my third was October and my second was in May

 

Welcome again to the family twice adopted Brother.

 

I need to get on the ball! I haven't had time to go through my memorization. Hopefully next month will be smoother! Congrats by the way!

 

Thank you !!! Is this your 2nd or 3rd ?
I need to crack on with my homework for the 3rd

 

Im still on 1st. Haven't had time to go to lodge because of work and the storms we have had in the last 2 weeks.

 

It's kinda cool you're at the same stage. I met a bro on the web when we were both wardens.... We're now old washed up PMs.... ( well he is hehe... but no matter how much I insult him and send him links to the same he won't join the broad *sigh*)... i encourage both to keep in touch.... you never know, you might get to meet one day....

 

Good job! Not to say you will but my best friend has been stuck on FC for 9 years haha. I'm sure you'll be a MM in no time though

 

9 years? Ur gl doesnt have advancement requirements?

Ours does not.... you could be a dues paying EA for the rest of your life.

 

Here u dont pay dues till ur a MM

As an EA, you're a full due paying full voting member of lodge. Since the other year, as an EA, you're also a full voting member of GL. Not sure how I think about that...

 

Here only MMs can vote add only the 3 pedestal officers or their proxys can vote at GL

In our Lodge your dues are due at your EA degree and dues are due from all brothers yearly regardless of degree. Our Stated Meetings are opened as a MM Lodge and thus, EAs and FCs can not vote.

For GL the 3 pedestal officers and our official representative to the GL (Must be a PM) can vote.
