That was partly in jest, as everything seems to have a tie attached nowadays! However, in this case, sale of ties, pins and booklets is what pays for the Association's administration, web site, postage etc. The restriction on wearing the tie only in Atholl lodges does seem a little self defeating, while I find that wearing the pin starts conversations with other wearers when out visiting, that you perhaps wouldn't otherwise have. And that generates more visiting and more contacts. Can't be that bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Part of my Black tie thing is because of the Provincial craft tie rule, what is the point of only being able to wear your P tie in your own P? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
