All of the Companions that attended the Installation Convocation of Piscator Chapter in Northampton on 8th February 2019 witnessed an excellent Installation Convocation. The Chapter was honoured to receive E Comp John Payne, Third Provincial Grand Principal who was escorted by E Comp Tim Almond, Provincial Deputy Grand Director of Ceremonies.
E Comp Michael Howells was installed as First Principal and E Comp Gary Robins as Third Principal. Unfortunately, E Comp Steve James was unavoidably absent so will be installed as Second Principal at the next Convocation. The Robes and Sceptres were presented by Acting Provincial Officers; E Comp Jason Brice, E Comp Scott McNeil and E Comp David Smith all of which were delivered to an excellent quality of ritual.
Prior to the Installation, Bro Peter Walton became Comp Peter Walton and completed his journey in Pure Antient Freemasonry in an Exaltation ceremony that was ably led by his good friend E Comp Trevor Sherman who was assisted by E Comp Gary Robins and Comp Reuben Freeman.
The evening was finished off with a superb Festive Board which was enjoyed by all. Our congratulations to the three newly Installed Principals and Officers of the Chapter and we offer them our sincere best wishes for a very happy and enjoyable year ahead.
