Monday 14th May 2024, the Inspector General and District Recorder received a very warm welcome to the Chapter, however in such sad circumstances. Unfortunately, this was to be the very last meeting for the Chapter. Due to circumstance beyond their control, it was to surrender its Warrant, and dispose of its Assets.
Immediately after opening the Chapter, the Chapter Recorder gave a Eulogy for III Bro Paul Woodward 30°, who sadly lost his battle with illness and passed to the Grand Chapter Above on 25th March 2024. Paul was also to be the very last Most Wise Sovereign of the Chapter.
After approving the Minutes of the previous meeting and before the formal transaction of the business for the proposals for the Chapter closure process, the Inspector General presented a Supreme Council Certificate to E&P Bro Graham Lloyd in his usual delightful and informative manner.
On completion of the Third Point, the Immediate Past Sovereign closed the Chapter for the final time. The rest of the evening spent in Harmony and Brotherly Love in the dining room with a wonderful roast beef dinner enjoyed by all.
On behalf of the District of Worcestershire, huge thanks to all St Edmund King & Martyr members for their kind generosity and consideration in the disposal of their Assets. We wish them well and hope that they will soon find alternative arrangements to continue to enjoy our beautiful Order.
