Wednesday 8th January 2025 saw the first meeting of the year in the wonderful District of Worcestershire. And what a welcome into the New Year it proved…………
Twenty One members & visitors including the Inspector General and the District Recorder assembled for the ‘Business’ meeting of the Chapter.
Upon failing miserably to hand his Chair & Baton to the IG, the MSW, E&P Bro Phil Abram 18°, Opened the Chapter and the Minutes of the previous meeting were confirmed. The MWS then declared E&P Bro Karl Haines 18°, and E&P Bro Alex Sinton 18°, Treasurer for the ensuing year. It was also announced by the MWS that as of the next meeting of the Chapter, the Chapter was going to return to the ‘old progressive process’ whereby the IPS automatically assumed the office of Outer Guard, following his rightful year as IPS. This was welcomed by the members………
Then followed an informative and much welcomed talk by the IG giving reference to the background and impact of the recent changes in the Ritual. The MWS and all the brethren thanked the IG for the explanation he gave.
Upon Closing the Chapter and carrying out the Third Point, the brethren retired to the Refectory to enjoy an excellent dinner.
Next meeting – Friday 2nd May 2025. (Enthronement)
