How does a Royal Arch Chapter celebrate its 100th anniversary meeting?
First it performs an exemplary Exaltation ceremony for the Son of one of its esteemed members.
It then elects a Past Grand Superintendent as an Honorary Member.
After that a lively Festive Board of Fish n Chips for 43 diners and most of the Companions “on the road” by 10pm. A great night indeed at Thistle and Rose Chapter!
Pictured with the Three Principals are the Exaltee, Glen Brooks, the new VIP Hon Member Wayne Williams, the 2nd PG Principal and past members of Wayne’s Executive.

Brethren,
It is perhaps timely to ask all of our members, should they be feeling unwell and think that they are suffering from something that someone else might catch, to consider very carefully whether they should be attending Lodge or Chapter meetings until they are better. This is very much for the benefit of all of our members as well as that of the individual concerned.
We will, of course, update this advice as appropriate according to Public Health England advice.
Sincerely and fraternally yours,
Dr David Staples, FRCP
CEO and Grand Secretary
