In addition to private Chapter meetings listed on the District Calendar, there are other important Rose Croix meetings and social events.

Promotions

Candidates promoted to the 30 degrees and higher degrees are invested at ceremonies conducted by members of the Supreme Council at the Grand East or headquarters of the Order, at 10 Duke Street St James’s London.  The dates of Supreme Council meetings are listed on the District calendar.

These are very special occasions followed by dinner at the Overseas League nearby in St James’s.

The Inspector General and District Recorder look forward to welcoming and celebrating with candidates these important milestones in their Rose Croix careers.

Intermediate Degrees

The 4th to the 17th Degrees of the Ancient and Accepted Rite are conferred on new members of the Order by name.  There is however a full ceremony for each.  Under the authority of the Supreme Council, these ceremonies are demonstrated by the King Edward VII Rose Croix Chapter of Improvement.  Each year one or two of the degrees are demonstrated  in London, with further demonstrations at Masonic Centres around the country hosted by the local District.   Any Rose Croix Mason is elegible to attend.

Dates and locations of the demonstration are published the Supreme Council 33° Yearbook.  Details and applications forms may be obtained directly from the District Recorder or Chapter Recorders to whom they are circulated.

District Administration

Each spring The Inspector General chairs an administration meeting to which the Sovereign, Recorder and Director of Ceremonies of each Chapter is invited to discuss the operation of the Order in the District.

The District also hosts two social events each year.

Annual Church Service and Luncheon

In autumn, members of the Order, their wives, partners and families sit down to a luncheon at Tewkesbury Masonic Hall, before proceeding to the Abbey for a Service with members of the Mark and other degrees.

In 2017, this will take place on Sunday 19th November.  Applications to attend the luncheon are made through the District Recorder.

Celebration Dinner

Each spring there is a Sunday lunch at Stroud Masonic Hall.  It is a relaxed informal occasion open to members and their wives and partners and offering a choice of menu.  Details and applications to attend may be obtained from the District Recorder.
