Preceptories of Improvement
Just as Craft Masonry has its 'Lodges of Instruction' and Chapter its 'Chapters of Improvement' so Knights Templar have Preceptories of Improvement.
It may be possible to 'learn the words' from the book but you can't learn how to put them over and carry out the correct actions at the right times. By going regularly to your nearest Preceptory of Improvement you will not only learn when to get up and sit down, when and where to move and all the sword drill but you will also you will be coached in the best way to put the ceremony over with understanding to the candidate. We have two Preceptories in Surrey:
