PROVINCIAL GRAND CHAPTER – ANNUAL CONVOCATION 2020
The Annual Convocation of Provincial Grand Chapter, as required by Royal Arch Regulation 37, was finally held last Thursday, 22 October, at 2pm at Derby Masonic Hall.
Every available seat was taken – the six attending being the Most Excellent Grand Superintendent, the Deputy Grand Superintendent, the Second and Third Provincial Grand Principals and Scribes E and N.
During the business, the minutes of last year’s Convocation were confirmed, the audited accounts approved and adopted, EComp. Robert Lee re-elected as Provincial Grand Treasurer, EComp Brian Moyse re-elected as Auditor and the Appointments and Promotions made on 21 March were all confirmed. It was resolved that the Provincial dues remain at £4. There was no other business.
Once again we congratulate those whose appointments and promotions were confirmed, namely –
