The Provincial Grand Chapter of Oxfordshire
Travelling Horn
Aims & Objectives
The aim of the travelling drinking horn is to encourage visiting between Chapters, to extend friendships and to enhance the vibrancy of Chapter meetings.
   1.The Chapter holding the drinking horn should arrange to pass it on to another Chapter of their choice no later than the end of the calendar month following the month in which they received it. The only exception to this is if the Drinking Horn is received in June or July, it must be passed on no later than the end of September.
2.The drinking horn should be accompanied by at least three Companions when it is passed on. Ideally, but not necessarily, this should be the Three Principals. It can also be an opportunity to include more recent/ less active members of the Chapter in the visit. Each of the accompanying brethren is responsible for their own dining cost.
3.The respective Chapters are responsible for organizing the logistics of the handover and for the ceremonial to be used at the handover.
4.The drinking horn should be passed to a Chapter that meets in a different centre from the Chapter holding the drinking horn.
5.No Chapter should receive the drinking horn more than once in a twelve-month period.
6.A record of Chapters that the drinking horn has travelled to will be maintained on the provincial website. The Chapter that is holding the drinking horn is responsible for informing the Provincial Grand Scribe E when and to whom the Drinking Horn has been passed, no later than forty-eight hours after it has been passed on.
7.The MEZ of the Chapter holding the drinking horn is responsible for ensuring that these guidelines are followed. Failure to follow the guidelines will mean that the Chapter is expected to make a contribution of £25 to the Provincial Charity Fund.
