The ritual books (which I assume is what they are) would be gratefully received by the province I am sure. Do you know where he used to attend lodge?

I can certainly dig out the provincial sectaries name if you know which province it was and very probably an email address. They would I am sure be interested and like I said grateful.

Zetland Hall in Hong Kong, Naval and Military, I have their email etc as they sent flowers etc and were fantastic to my Gran when he passed away last year.

I might sort it all out and decide what to keep and what to send.
Drop them a line, I have been there a few times as a visitor when on business in HK and they are a great bunch. Also they have a nice library area with some old regalia etc on display so they would take anything you had I am sure.

KoolChris - try and not take the p1ss too much. If it's genuine then it would be held dear by many.

I'm not taking the piss, the pose was the stupidest one I could muster to deter the PH photoshop crew.

It's 100% genuine, my old man is in the FM too and I spoke to him today about it. App grandpa was head of his lodge etc

It's been on the cards for a while. He's been in for quite a few years, my grandfather is in his 55yr I think!

In the Derbyshire Province, I think they are involved in more than one (including a musical lodge I think).

Will let you know when I know more.

Hmm... been asked twice now by different friends if I would be interested, but then the lead goes cold for a month or two whilst we are both really busy at work...

Think I may have to chase him up and then see what its like with a view to join.

I got the info off him about the ins and outs, but wouldnt mind if someone else 'unbiased' (not a friend explaining it all) to PM with the ins and outs of it all.
