The Chapter met on Monday 28th October 2024 for their Enthronement meeting. The MWS, Ill\Bro David Craig 30°, welcomed the Inspector General into the Chapter and offered him his Baton to which the IG politely declined, saying that he (the MWS) had probably prepared for the Enthronement better than he had done so himself……… Upon opening the Chapter, The Recorder read the Dispensation authorising the change of date for the meeting.
The Minutes of the previous meeting were relayed to those present and were duly approved by the members and signed for by the MWS and IG respectively.
Following the Treasurers and Almoners reports, everyone present enjoyed the excellent Enthronement of Ill\Bro Stephen M Middleditch 31°, as the new MWS. The MWS appointed and invested those present with the authority of their respective offices for the ensuing year. The IG then gave the Address to the Chapter to complete the Enthronement.
At the previous meeting of the Chapter in May 2024, the members proposed and agreed to amend their By-Laws to reflect a reduction of their meetings from three meetings a year, to two. The revised By-Laws document was signed by the MWS, Recorder and the IG before being handed to the District Recorder for onward transmission to the Supreme Council 33°, for them to further approve and sanction the changes.
Upon completing the Third Point, the MWS closed the Chapter and the rest of the evening spent in Harmony and Brotherly Love in the refectory to enjoy a hearty meal.
