After having lurked and read and learned and sought more knowledge and information, I thought it time to register and say hello. In December, at the age of 40, I thought it high time to ask. I contacted the UGL of NSW and ACT who replied in a day or two and put me in touch with a gentleman to talk about the possibilities. We met in January for a chat about things. I found him amiable and perhaps he found me a touch annoying because of too many questions and perhaps has reserved me as a special pain for someone to lead and mentor. We seemed to share a similar approach to theology, deism and related matters. Sitting in the Temple, talking about much and many, unfettered by the Craft's convention of what should not be spoken of was a very special hour or two for me with that gent. Forms were filled, the due process was advised and shortly I am to be Interviewed (March) with a view to Initiation rather soon after (April). By his words, this is quick by Masonic standards and I'm ever so appreciative that things are taking this course for me. Fingers crossed that I am deemed worthy. Cheers - RoughAshlar. |O| EA - Lodge Ku-Ring-Gai 1033.

Doubtless, in the days leading to the Interview and soon after the Initiation, I will have questions and post those in the appropriate place. Looking forward to getting to know one and all in here.

Have you posted on other forums with that name as it seems very familiar. It also got me wondering how you came about the name, it is very apt for a perspective candidate but non members usually don't have the knowledge to give themselves such poingant names.

Post #18797 RoughAshlarRoughAshlar Posted 24/02/2010 07:53 Apprentice Group: Forum Members Last Login: 2 days ago @ 12:55 Posts: 38, Visits: 151 Thank you for the kind greetings, gentlemen. No, I am not on any other forums. I have had a look at a few of them, but the flavour is somewhat different to here. This one is much nicer with behaviour and commentary of a much higher standard. Hence the choice. Cheers - RoughAshlar. |O| EA - Lodge Ku-Ring-Gai 1033.
