This morning I popped up to Elwy Hall Rhyl for the Rose Croix Higher Degree’s Lunch.
This is an annual get together for some drinks, a lovely meal, and good company.
It importantly gives a chance for all the Past Sovereigns of North Wales to meet up, since we do not always get to see each other at any other time due to the distance between chapters.
It is a none formal meal, which is always excellent at Elwy Hall, those of us who count Maesgwyn as our main location often lament that Ian no longer cooks for us.

The Ancient and Accepted Rite (Rose Croix)
The Ancient and Accepted Rite originated in France in 1754 and worked in the USA where a Supreme Council was formed in 1801.
The Supreme Council for England and Wales was established in 1845 under a patent from the Supreme Council of the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction of the United States of America. The Rite consists of its own 33 Degrees entirely separate and distinct from any other Order.
The three Craft Degrees are accepted as equivalent to the first 3 Degrees of this Rite. Candidates for Perfection are taken from the 4º to 17º Degrees by name only, prior to being made Excellent and Perfect Princes Rose Croix in a detailed and beautiful 18º Degree ceremony. This is the only degree permitted to be worked in a private Rose Croix Chapter. Degrees above the 18º are awarded on merit after a brother has passed the Chair of his Chapter.
