Supreme Grand Chapter has produced a new tie that can be worn at any Holy Royal Arch Convocation in this or any other Province and in Supreme Grand Chapter (but not in Grand Lodge).
Further guidelines will be given in due course as to when and where the new tie may be worn in Craft Lodges in this Province. In further discussions with the Provincial Grand Master, we agree that our own Provincial tie was originally designed to meet the needs of both the Craft and the Royal Arch Province and has served us well.
Continuing sales have raised a useful contribution towards our 2013 Festival and we feel therefore that it still has its full course to run and, for the time being, wearing of the newly introduced Royal Arch tie should be restricted to just Royal Arch meetings.

The tie has a dark blue background and the motif features the emblem of the Hoiy Royal Arch - the Triple Tau. This is a figure consisting of three tau crosses. The Tau Cross, or Cross of St Anthony, is a cross in the form of a Greek T. The Triple Tau is a figure formed by three of these crosses meeting in a point, and therefore resembling a letter T resting on the traverse bar of an H.
The tie is available at all good Masonic outlets in three different types of material.
