During the time of the rugby world cup last year, I received an e-mail from a French sitting master, who had accompanied his twelve-year-old son to the games, and had booked into a resort at Kewarra beach, for a few days at the end of the games.
He requested a meeting with masons in the area during his stay.
I replied that during this time Freshwater Lodge was holding a first degree and that it would be good for our candidate to experience "the universality of the science".
He replied that his son was the problem, and ultimately it was arranged for my wife to mind him while the father came to lodge.
