The Enthronement meeting of the Gervase Paganel Chapter RC No 316 was held on Thursday 11th April 2024. The Chapter was opened by the MWS, and the Inspector General and District Recorder were warmly welcomed to the Chapter.
The MWS was to remain ‘in the Chair’ for a second year and was duly Proclaimed for the ensuing year by the Director of Ceremonies. The MWS then proceeded to appointed and invest his officers with confidence and sincerity.
On completion of the Enthronement, the Inspector General gave the Address to the Chapter in his most delightful way.
The next item on the Agenda was to demonstrate parts of the ceremony of Perfection during which the MWS conducted the First Point using the 2024 Ritual. A job very well done.
The remainder of the business for the good of the Chapter or the advancement of the Rite was completed, and the Third Point was carried out by the MWS as per the 2024 Ritual. It is really encouraging to see Chapters embrace the ‘new’ ritual since it came into effect on 1st March 2024.
After the closing of the Chapter, members retired to enjoy a super dinner at the Old Edwardian members club.
