Programme of Ceremonial  Visits and events

The purpose of these special occasions is to help to make the  Acting Officers’ year in office more enjoyable and worthwhile and, at the same time, to encourage the Chapters we visit by giving them a ‘special evening’. We hope this will help strengthen overall membership.

The Chapters we visit are asked to make a special effort to encourage their infrequently-attending members to attend – which might also prove to be beneficial.

All Companions from all Chapters are welcome to attend these Chapter meetings listed. You might wish to invite members of your own Chapter to accompany us.

The following Ceremonial Visits are planned for 2023-24.

  5 September – Bi-Centenary of  Chapter of Justice, Derby 6pm
30 September – Annual Dinner at Morley Hayes 6.30 for 7pm
21 October – Constitution and Consecration of Derbyshire Motorcycle Chapter 9950, 11am at Long Eaton
16  November – Graham Sisson’s 50th at Phoenix Chapter of St. Ann
20 June – Annual Convocation 4pm at Derby

A member of the Executive will visit  Installation meetings with an Officer in Attendance, and visit all exaltations without an OIA. Feel free to support any of these meetings.
