On Wednesday 19 April, a most enjoyable event in the calendar of Northants and Hunts Provincial Grand Chapter occurred on the occasion of the Annual Principals evening, which was held at Corby Masonic Centre. This brought together Chapter Principals from across the Province, supported by practically the entire Provincial Team, led by the Most Excellent Grand Superintendent, E Comp Wayne Williams and accompanied by his Executive
On replying to his toast, the Grand Superintendent gave an extensive overview of the state of the Province which is clearly in very good heart. Of particular interest to all was the news that our Province exalted in excess of 60 new Royal Arch members over the last calendar year; growth on previous year is almost unprecedented and the MEGS paid tribute to all those present, having contributed to what is an extraordinary result.
This evening also saw the introduction of the new static Royal Arch displays, produced by E Comp Andy Moore, designed to publicise the vital fourth stage in completing the journey through Pure Antient Masonry. These were shipped to ten centres in our Province on that very evening, ensuring that they will be immediately highly visible, thus raising the Royal Arch profile to all Master Masons.
A very warm and convivial atmosphere was most apparent throughout the evening, both in the temple and at the excellent Festive Board, culminating in an extremely happy and memorable evening for all present.
