On Friday 30th May 2025, 37 members and Visitors including the Inspector General, District Recorder, Inspector General for South Wales & Monmouthshire, & Past Inspector General for Staffordshire & Shropshire were warmly welcomed to the Chapter to witness a truly delightful Enthronement meeting.
The MWS, III.˙,Bro C Hart 30°, offered his Baton & Chair to the IG who, as expected, declined the offer as he was convinced that the MWS had put in a huge amount of hard work and effort to ensure the events of the evening went without any issues.
Immediately after opening the Chapter, III.˙.Bro S Jinks 30°, gave a wonderful heart felt and sincere eulogy to III\Bro Joe W Page 30°, who had sadly passed to the Grand Chapter Above during the previous month.
After proving the Minutes of the last meeting, V.˙.III.˙.Bro Dr R N Hoare 33°, a Past Inspector General for the District of Worcestershire was then Enthroned as MWS of the Chapter by III.˙.Bro C Hart 30°, in a most impressive and enjoyable manner. The Enthronement was of ‘text book quality’, and you will certainly have difficulty in finding a better example Enthronement.
The ‘new’ MWS, V.˙.III.˙.Bro Dr R N Hoare 33°, appointed & Invested his Officers with his own delightful manner, injecting humour and other items of interest along the way………….
On completion of the Enthronement, the Inspector General gave the address to the Princes of the Chapter.
The MWS completed the remainder of the business, carried out the Third Point and Closed the Chapter. Everyone then retired to the Refectory to enjoy a hearty dinner, continued humour completing a super, super evening.
Next meeting – THU 30 OCT 25.
