It is all up to the YR bodies . some put on a festival , which is an all day degree marathon . We do not , it takes months for a candidate(s) to go through our degrees as we put them all on one at a time or We may put on two short degrees in one night , but candidates go through the degrees the same as they would in the Blue Lodge . None are communicated , and all are done full form with the candidates all going through them . We put on degrees as petitions come in , we do not wait till we have one huge class .
The only memory work you would be required to commit to memory is if you took an active role in degree work or took on the chair line .
