To say that I was somewhat overwhelmed by the ceremony is something of an understatement. I felt an immense sensation of brotherly love throughout the whole experience.

I have managed to read through some of the ritual and fully appreciate the work undertaken by the members of the chapter.
If I have one regret it is that I wish I had joined much earlier in my masonic journey.

The warmth and friendliness of all the members was just amazing.
I can see now why so many say Rose Croix is the best Order to be in.

I am looking forward to the future meetings in such an amazing Chapter, alongside that fantastic team, who have given me such an incredible experience and welcomed me with such warmth.
“I have to say, one of the most spectacular ceremonies I've seen in freemasonry.”
“I would sincerely like to thank everyone at XXXXX Chapter for making my Perfection Ceremony such a wonderful experience.
The whole evening, from ceremony to festive board, I consider the highlight of my masonic career so far.”
“I wanted to let you know that the meeting was one of the finest Rose Croix meetings that I have attended in many a year, not least by the number of friends who were in attendance, but specifically for the outstanding quality of the ritual and ceremonial undertaken.”
“Each and every member that delivered ritual was simply outstanding, and it was a joy to be present to witness such outstanding work.”
“I had deliberately made sure I knew nothing whatever about the ceremony and therefore had no expectations as to what would occur. I did however know it would be “very different” and it didn’t fail to deliver in that regard.”
“I realised that the ritual was excellent and I particularly enjoyed the first part where the explanation of the conferred degrees was given.”
“It was a most enjoyable evening; the ritual was top drawer quality, and the festive board was faultless. It is clear that the Brethren put in a massive amount of work to perfect the ceremony, I commend you all and thank you for the heartfelt and earnest way in which you all received me into Rose Croix.”
"Good evening,
Thank you so much for your letter and what a night, something to stay in the memory bank, which also couldn’t have happened on a better weekend being Easter when I was perfected.
I look forward very much to catching up with you soon!
Dear V. Ill Inspector General,
Further to my advancement to the 30 (Degree) at Duke Street, may I thank you personally for bringing me, firstly into Freemasonry and subsequently into Rose Croix and then assisting through my various offices culminating in the award of this degree by the Supreme Council. The Ceremony at Duke Street was faultless from start to finish and shall be remembered dearly.
When I joined Freemasonry a few years ago, little did I know that I would, in time, represent the Province of West Kent at 30 (degree).
The Order and Ceremonies are something to behold and will be dear to my heart for as long as I shall live. I have lots of great memories that shall be cherished forever."
Dear Very Illustrious Sir
Fraternal greetings
It was such an honour for me that you had attended my enthronement and gracing the meeting, especially awarding the SC certificates to the new members.
All the brethren of XXXX Chapter were grateful for your presence.
On behalf of the XXXX Chapter no. XXXX I would like to thank you and words are not enough to say we are greatly honoured and inspired by your presence.
We have a goal to keep increasing the membership of XXXX Chapter.
Looking forward to seeing you soon, V Ill Sir.
God bless you more.
Good afternoon Mark & Adrian,
I must admit I was totally gobsmacked last night, receiving the IG Award!
Absolutely chuffed!
However, it often inspires criticism when someone might be seen to be “buying themselves” ranks and awards, I am now in the somewhat envious position of not having anything to “buy”!!
That means that I can freely express my sincere thanks to you both.
As a material expression of those thanks, I have transferred a donation of £100 to the District Account, to help defray the costs of all the great things you are doing for the District."
Dear Mark
I would like to thank you again for presenting me with the Inspector General's Award for Achievement Above and Beyond at the Rose Croix Meeting. It came as a great surprise but was very much welcomed and appreciated by me. It is always a pleasure and a honour to be recognised for something that I have enjoyed doing over the years. Once again many thanks."
Respected Inspector General,
I am humbled and truly elated with gratitude, not only for your kindness and fraternal affection I experienced yesterday, but here again crowning it all today by still taking your valuable time to write me this beautiful letter which I will treasure always, as well as do my utmost to implement your directives accordingly.
Yesterday, for me, was the realisation of my long-held desire and aspiration to someday affiliate with such eminences and philosophical kindred spirits as yourselves, for which I am most grateful.
I am in no doubt whatsoever that yesterday, for me, marks a further confirmation that I am on the right path in my Masonic Journey in my quest towards my eventual understanding of Almighty God and His mysteries."
"Hi Mark,
Many thanks for your email, attachment and very warm welcome to the Order.
It was an amazing experience and I believe that I have joined a friendly, harmonious and very supportive chapter.
I look forward to venturing out and visiting other chapters in due course and catching up with you soon.
Thanks again"
