A Very Busy Convocation At Gildenburg Chapter

On Tuesday 13 December, the Convocation of Gildenburg Chapter in Peterborough proved to be a very busy evening with an Exaltation, a presentation of a Supreme Grand Chapter certificate and last, but by no means least, the presentation of a 50 Year Jubilee Certificate. Our Most Excellent Grand Superintendent, E Comp Wayne Williams, was the official visitor for this Convocation. 

The three Principals of the Chapter; E Comp David Burton, E Comp Marcus Murphy and E Comp Richard Olson, led the Exaltation of Comp Robert Hodson in a fine manner and enabled him to complete his journey in Pure Antient Masonry. At this point, our Most Excellent Grand Superindent presented Comp Mark Benwell with his Supreme Grand Chapter Certficate and explained it to him. Finally, to the delight of all those present our Most Excellent Grand Superintendent, E Comp Wayne Williams, then presented a 50 year Jubilee Certificate to Comp Colin St John-Browne who has enjoyed the companionship of the Holy Royal Arch for half a century, but, not progressed through the Principals' Chairs. He was absolutely delighted to receive this certificate. 

The evening was completed with a very enjoyable Festive Board which captured the wonderful atmosphere of the evening.
