We have now circulated to all Chapters details of the recent announcement of Appointments and Promotions to Supreme Grand Chapter Rank for 2018.
Many Companions will have already been notified or advised within the last day or two but may I on behalf of the Royal Arch Province extend formal congratulations on First Appointment to Past Grand Standard Bearer on behalf of us all to:
E Comp Derek Pearson of Euston Chapter who was first appointed as our Provincial Grand Almoner in June 2014 and will be reappointed again at our Annual Convocation in June. E Comp Derek has put a tremendous effort into this very important appointment to ensure that our Chapters and their membership thrive. In June 2016 he received further recognition with a promotion to Past Provincial Grand Sword Bearer.
E Comp David Smith of Northampton Chapter who has been our Provincial Grand Treasurer since June 2017 and, like E Comp Derek, will be reappointed at our Annual Convocation in June. Prior to that, he served as Provincial Grand Scribe Nehemiah in 2012 with some considerable distinction. He is now working very hard to ensure that the Province’s finances are kept in good order.
E Comp Dr. Kevin Williams of Chapter of Installed First Principals No 3422 to Past Grand Standard Bearer. E Comp Kevin is known to many as a Group Officer for Kettering in the Craft and holds Grand Rank as Past Assistant Grand Director of Ceremonies. He is very active in the Royal Arch in London and holds Senior London Grand Chapter Rank.
To all three, I extend my personal congratulations and very best wishes from us all throughout the Royal Arch Province.
E Comp James Boughton
ME Grand Superintendent
