On Wednesday 6th May 2026 some 22 Members of the Order, including the Inspector General, mustered at The Masonic Hall, Kidderminster for the One Hundred and Thirty Third Meeting of the Chapter.
What a full evening it turned out to be with a Perfection, Enthronement and Presentation of a MWS Enthronement Certificate. The latter not being an item that is unfortunately not practised in all our Chapters in the District notwithstanding it would normally only be applicable to members of the 18° on reaching the Chair for the first time.
It was very good to see the members of the 18°, fully involved in the Perfection Ceremony which was conducted to a very good standard.
This was then followed by a well delivered Enthronement ceremony which saw E & P Bro A R Lewis 18°, duly installed for the forthcoming year.
The IG then presented an Enthronement Certificate to the IPS, E&P Bro Ian Calvert 18°.
Prior to retiring and conducting the Third Point the Recorder announced that there was another Candidate for Perfection in the pipeline which is excellent news for a Chapter which a few years ago faced an uncertain future.
Following the Third Point the Chapter was closed and the Brethren retired to enjoy a very pleasant evening meal which concluded an excellent feast of Rose Croix Masonry.
Next meeting – WED 01 JUL 26.
