Good evening Quarrymen I’m afraid there will be a change of video this weekend. The advertised feature ‘Other Orders’ has turned into an unwieldy monster and there’s no way I’ll get it finished in time. Since I started research, I’ve come across more than 130 side orders and rites beyond the Craft and have a…
