Many Circles, Provinces, groups and events are marked by the production and sale of a neck-tie (or, maybe, of ties). Usually these are available to those who attend the event or have some connection with it. Other ties may be produced at the personal expense of an individual and gifted to the recipients. There is no particular protocol regarding the wearing of these ties. Does one honour a Circle by wearing THEIR tie when visiting it? Or does that lead to confusion? Indeed is a good idea to wear such ties ONLY when attending Catenian functions? Or is the best approach to wear them when NOT at Catenian functions so that the word may be spread? Answers, on a pre-paid post-card to Head Office! (Or by letter to "Catena"). Some Circles, having a Circle tie, ask their members to wear it when going together on "official" visits.
Here is a selection of actual ties: they are a Circle tie from Mensija (Malta), Sutton mid-Surrey's 1000th meeting, a general one, Bournemouth 2010 Conference in subdued colours, the Harrogate 2003 Conference in black, The Grand President's Tie 2009~2010, Wimbledon's 1000th meeting, a Woking tie produced for their 700th meeting in the Borough colours, Bournemouth Conference in bold colours and the Harrogate gold one.
For general ties this advert appeared in the July 2006 "Catena" (and was confirmed by the Bournemouth 2010 Conference ties)
