On Friday 3rd May 2024, 26 members and visitors including the District Recorder assembled for the Enthronement meeting. It was very pleasing indeed to see half of those present were wearing red collars.
After singing the opening hymn and opening the Chapter, the MWS gave a moving eulogy to E&P Bro Phillip E Read 18°, who sadly passed to the Grand Chapter Above on Monday 15th April 2024.
After receiving the Minutes of the St Dunstan Chapter meeting held 100 years ago, The District Recorder had the honour and pleasure of presenting a Supreme Council Certificate to E&P Bro William J Hoe 18°.
The next item on the Agenda, the MWS, E&P Bro Bill Tucker 18°, Enthroned E&P Bro Phillip Abram 18°, in a most impressive, relaxed, and dignified manner. An Enthronement which Sovereigns both past & present would have been most proud.
The incoming MWS appointed and invested his Officers with the authority of their office, again in a most delightful, relaxed and at times, humorous way………
The Enthronement ceremony was completed with an Address to the Princes of the Chapter by the District Recorder.
On completion of the remainder of the Business, the new MWS conducted Third Point for his first time, in a very competent and impressive manner. The MWS closed the Chapter and everyone retired to the refectory and the rest of the evening spent in Harmony and Brotherly Love and enjoyed a super dinner.
A wonderful evening had by all.
