Socrates Chapter's Special Convocation

On Monday 27 March, another rather special event occurred in the calendar of Northants and Hunts Provincial Grand Chapter. Our Most Excellent Grand Superintendent, E Comp Wayne Williams, accompanied by his Executive and almost the entire Provincial Team, together with many Grand Chapter Officers descended upon Huntingdon Masonic Centre for the second Team Visit of the season which was hosted by Socrates Chapter No. 373. The evening was particularly special for two people in particular.

Firstly, Brother Jeremy Curd completed his fourth and final stage of Pure Antient Masonry on being Exalted into this very special Chapter. Companion Jeremy was personally welcomed into our Supreme order by the MEGS and, together will all present, wished our newly Exalted Companion a very happy and fulfilling career as our newest member.

Secondly, E Comp Norman Coe, Exalted in West Kent Province in 1966 who was presented with a Certificate to commemorate his 50 years of meritorious service in the Royal Arch. Then and much to the surprise of the recipient, and the absolute delight of all present, the MEGS announced his decision to promote E Comp Norman, with immediate effect to the rank of Past Pr. Grand Registrar. E Comp Norman will be presented with his new regalia at the forthcoming Provincial Grand Chapter on 22nd June.

Such was the turnout; the temple at this wonderful new venue was filled almost to capacity. The Socrates Chapter team were congratulated on producing much fine work in the temple and particularly thanked for their warm welcome and very kind hospitality
