Also, on Wednesday 6th May 2026 eight members of the Order met at Rainbow Hill for their Enthronement meeting. Low in numbers perhaps, but no shortage of quality!
After singing the Opening Hymn and filling one or two Offices for the evening, the Chapter was Opened by the MWS, III.˙.Bro Charles Dyer, 32°, at 1815 hrs, and the Recorder read the Minutes of the previous meeting which were formally adopted by those members of the Chapter present and duly signed by the MWS.
Having thanked the Chapter for their support for the past year, the Chapter Recorder Proclaimed III.˙.Bro Charles Dyer 32°, the MWS for a further year.
The MWS then appointed and invested his Officers with the authority of their office in an exemplary manner. In the absence of the Inspector General due his attendance at the Breme Chapter RC No 862 Enthronement meeting just up the river in Kidderminster, the District Recorder gave the Address to the Princes.
On completion of the Enthronement and thanking those taking part, the MWS presented a ‘paper of Masonic interest’ entitled ‘Perfection in Context’ written by the M.˙. P.˙.Bro the Rev’d Canon Richard Tydeman 33°, the Sovereign Grand Commander from 1994 to 2002. On conclusion of the paper, the MWS received well deserved applause as this was something many present had not heard before.
During the Risings, the Chapter announced the very generous distribution of £500 from the Alms Account to three local deserving Charities detailing the great spirit within the Chapter.
Following the Third Point the Chapter was Closed and the assembled company retired to the Refectory for a Fish & Chips supper, rounding off a fantastic meeting.
Next meeting – FRI 25 SEP 25.
