The chain of Union
Members of a lodge link together to form a chain of union. One arm is placed on a neighbours waist whilst the hand is left free to tap the other neighbour three times on the shoulder. At the same time, a triple brotherly kiss and the word of the week is given to a neighbour, which is then passed on to the next neighbour along. Starting from the Chairman the tap, kiss, and word is passed both ways around the group reaching the Master of Ceremonies at the same time
