Well this is a happy group! So they should be!
MEGS Jim Boughton took his jolly group of Provincial Officers on a Team Visit to Buckby Castle Chapter at Daventry on 7th November.
After the three Principals had been re-confirmed for a second year they appointed their Officers and then embarked on Exalting Bro Eugen Tiberiv Turigel (or ALEX for short) in a ceremony of the highest order. A lively and rather noisy Festive Board rounded off an absolute triumph of an event.

On Thursday 22nd of November at Convocation of Pemberton Chapter 3039 at Rushden Masonic Hall there was a very special surprise event. The Most Excellent Grand Superintendent, E.Comp Jim Boughton, was delighted to be able to present E.Comp Frank Brierley with a Diamond Jubilee Certificate for 60 years membership of the Royal Arch.
E.Comp Frank was Initiated into Craft Masonry (into King David Lodge No 479 EC) in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in August 1957 and he was Exalted into Royal Arch Masonry (the Msasa Chapter No 6802 EC) the following year - in September 1958.
Having re-settled in the United Kingdom E.Comp Frank joined Pemberton Chapter 3039 in 2003 becoming Z of that Chapter in 2008. The presentation of the Certificate was somewhat of a surprise for E.Comp Frank.
