Special degree work?

How many lodges do a special degree that youa re aware of? Either near you or in another jurisdiction?

For instance I attended a special Communication of Nickel Plate Night at a lodge outside my jurisdiction this past weekend.

I'm an avid model railroader and I'd heard thru some folks that a lodge in Ohio that used to be a huge railroad town was still holding an annual Railroading night I got more info on it. I drummed up some interest in my lodge and we took two car loads of brothers out to see it. A very interesting afternoon touring the local railroad museum staffed by members of their lodge and open specially for us and then attending the degree which while it had a Railroading theme was not perverted beyond recognition for any regular Mason.

So anyone else know of a lodge that does something like this?

    some of the Chapters in our area used to do a Quarry Degrees. Which are the regular degrees but in a Quarry. I hear they were great but the guy who organized them no longer works there so they have not been doine in years.

      Not our Lodge. But there is "Demonstration Teams" here for the Massachusetts work (I have passed the third degree in it) and another which I think is New York.

      You don't know this - but Victoria actually had a English Constitution Lodge which did not join UGVL when it was formed (or left after - cant remember). Being in amity with UGLE we can visit - and must do that one day ..

      We also have a Study group which studies Dutch and also Older Rituals - they meet at Gipps St -but again although I know members I have never been..
