On Friday 2nd May 2025, twenty-five members and visitors including the Inspector General and District Recorder assembled for the Enthronement meeting.
The IG was escorted into the Chapter by the DC, and E&P Bro Phillip Abram 18°, the MWS, offered his Baton to the IG. Before returning the Baton, the IG informed the MWS that this evening was a most important night of his year in Office and wished him well.
The Chapter was opened promptly at 1800 hrs and the Minutes of the previous meeting were proved. The Recorder then read extracts of the Minutes of the meeting held 100 years ago, which included a very interesting entry providing the history, background and dedication of the weaved rug (incorporating the Ladder), which adorned the centre of the Chapter floor – and still looks as good as new.
The next item on the Agenda, the MWS, E&P Bro Phillip Abram 18°, Enthroned E&P Bro Karl L Haines 18°, in a most relaxed, and dignified manner. An Enthronement which the Chapter will be most proud.
The incoming MWS appointed and invested his Officers with the authority of their office, again in a most delightful, relaxed and dignified manner.
The Enthronement ceremony was completed with the Address to the Princes of the Chapter by the Inspector General who also declared his delight at the future progression of the Chapter with so many ‘Red Collars’ occupying the Offices.
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.
Another wonderful evening of classic Rose Croix enjoyment.
Next meeting – WED 29 OCT 25.
