A ‘bumper’ attendance at the Worcestershire Chapter No 970 on Monday 25th March 2024 saw III Bro M Hardeman 30°, Enthroned as the Most Wise Sovereign. A very special moment for the newly enthroned MWS as his father was a Founder of the chapter and himself the MWS Chapter in 1990/1991.
III Bro G Jinks 31°, enthronement his successor in a very accomplished manner and with great pride.
After the MWS appointed and invested his officers, V III Bro Ian M Fothergill 33°, Inspector General for the District of Worcestershire presented a Long Service Certificate to III Bro Michael Birt Simpson 32° acknowledging his 50 years of long, loyal, and distinguished service to our wonderful Order of the Ancient & Accepted Rite. A truly proud moment for III Bro Michael who was so thankful for the honour and was then greeted with a huge and very well-deserved round of applause.
The next item on the Agenda was a presentation by the Midlands Rose Croix Chapter of Improvement (MRCCI) team demonstrating the Perfection ceremony as per the 2024 Ritual. This was very well received by all present, and highlighted that the changes were hardly noticeable.
Following the remainder of the business for the Chapter and conducting the Third Point, the MWS closed the Chapter the brethren retired to the Refectory to enjoy a hearty meal in Harmony and Brotherly Love.
