It is with much pleasure that we invite you to our Swedish Grand Chapitre of 2017.

This year we are moving slightly north and towards the coast - to the city of Sundsvall.

Sundsvall is the capital of the region which grew its wealth from the old days of the ”Wood Barons” i.e. the well-to-do saw mill owners who turned the inland green forests into cash.

During the late summer weekend we will visit everything from small fishing villages to the grand hotels of Sundsvall. The programme includes the South and North Mountains as well as a small tour of the High Coast - one of Sweden's most beautiful and distinctive landscapes. The latter will include tasting some Swedish Gin - a growing business in the region.

For the Induction Ceremony and Gala Dinner the legendary (and recently renovated) Hotel Knaust is going to be the host establishment.

More information can be found at www.chainesuede.se - registration to participate in the event is also made via this website.
