Evesham Chapter No. 994
On Thursday 15th June some 18 members of the Order met at Eveshamn Masonic Hall for the Annual Enthronement Ceremony. Unusually, given that this meeting is always combined with an Asparagus Supper the attendance this year was small but had the pleasure of welcoming the V:.Ill:. Inspector General, Dr. Joseph F K Marzouk, 33o and the Past Inspector General V:.Ill:. Bro. Dr. Richard N Hoare, 33o who were escorted into the Temple by the DC who is also the District Recorder.
The Enthronement Ceremony was very well conducted by the MWS E&P Bro. Mike Hadden, 18o and the incoming MWS, E&P Bro. Stan Brotherton,18o took to the Chair like the proverbial “duck to water” and appointed and invested his Officers. The Inspector General gave the address to the MWS, the District Recorder the Address to the Brethren and the Past Inspector General conducted the Third Point. The District thereby providing its pledged full support to the Chapter.
On Closing the Brethren retired to the Festive Board to enjoy a very good meal with trays of Vale of Evesham Gras to complement the Roast Gammon and cider and cream sauce.
Responding to his Toast the Inspector General remarked on how good it was to see so many 18o Collars in the meeting and was delighted to hear that there are at least 4 Candidates in the pipeline.
The next meeting on 26th October will be the Chapter’s 100th Meeting and will be both a Perfection and Centenary Celebration
