This is the first initiation into O.T.O. and application for initiation this year is now closed. This is always a spectacular event and it does involve camping overnight. Full details of initiation fees for candidates and what things you will need to bring have now been sent out to all candidates. If you are initiated to Minerval or above then you are very welcome to join us for this spectacular event. All O.T.O. members are welcome to attend these initiations and welcome our new guests into the Order. We are asking that those not taking initiation on this day might consider offering the camp a donation of £3 to cover the cost of extra guests for the wonderful feast that you will be provided with both in the evening and for breakfast the next morning. Please remember to bring warm clothes with you as it gets pretty cold in the Welsh forest at night and any appropriate camping gear if you are planning to stay overnight. If you would like further details on attending this event then please email us.

The next level of initiation into O.T.O. will be held at Tamion in November for anyone that wishes to go on to take their I*, II*, or III* initiations. More details about eligibility for this will be sent out in our news letter nearer the time.

For anybody wishing to be initiated into any of these degrees within the O.T.O., you must already have been initiated to the degree previous to the one which you wish to be admitted to… and have completed any requirements of your current grade (e.g. any time lapses that must occur between one degree and another.) You must also complete an Application for Advancement form (available from Soror Kim Huggens at kimhuggens[at]yahoo[dot]co[do]uk) and get it to Tamion Encampment before October 15th 2010 in order to be considered for this round of initiations.

Please note the above deadline date, applications for these initiations are now closed.

The events will take place in South Wales,at our regular veune. Members of I* and above, please arrive from 2pm to assist with the building of the temple. Candidates for the I*, please arrive at 3.30pm.

I can confirm that the highly culinary II* members of Tamion will be providing a GRAND FEAST for this event! We will be asking for a small contribution towards the cost from any members attending who are not either being initiated on the day or who aren’t officering for the initiations. This will be in the region of £3 per person.

Any further questions, or to get an Application for Advancement form, please contact Soror Kim Huggens at kimhuggens[at]yahoo[dot]co[dot]uk
