June's Hints

Closing March & Cross 

• When leaving your stations walk directly out from your station to the walking lines, not on an angle. 
• Be sure to always square your corners.

• Honoured Queen you do not leave your station until you have given the gavel to the Bethel Guardian.

• Honoured Queens before entering the cross you stand west of the Altar not on the East line.

• The arms of the cross come down to the Chaplain, at the SAME time that the Honoured Queen is moving around the altar to the foot of the cross.

• Kneel – Right knee, Left knee, Hands. To stand up – Hands down, Left foot, Right foot. Hands at your side.

• Walk to the HQ nod and go left or right to the walking line and square your corner, go to the West line, turn to face east when the Guide and Marshal nod to each other indicating the last person has arrived at the end of the line. ALL face East at the same time.

• HQ and Princesses move west and turn all in the same direction at the same time. BG will nod and you all return the nod, she will then rap once.

• Walk all the way out the door in pairs. Do not return until the last Officer has left the room.
