On May 10th Gildenburg Chapter held their Centenary Meeting at the Masonic Centre in Peterborough. Just short of 95 in attendance with just under 90 dining contributed to making the evening very special.

Those attending were treated to an explanation of the history of the Chapter and its Consecration as well as what was happening in Peterborough in 1921.

The Most Excellent Grand Superintendent addressed the Companions accompanied by the whole of the exec, a host of Grand Officers and barring Covid & Holidays all of the Active Provincial Officers. A really enjoyable and fraternal way to end the Masonic Season.

A number of companions from our province travelled to London on April 28th to attend the Regular Convocation of The Supreme Grand Chapter.

 The Most Excellent Grand Superintendent then hosted a Reception & Luncheon for members of the Province at the Ambassador Hotel.

Held at Sheaf Close Northampton, EComp Tony Avery, Installing MEZ, opened the Chapter and coordinated the installation of his successor EComp Jim Boughton – Most Excellent Grand Superintendent. The Robes & Sceptres were wonderfully presented by EComp David Docherty, EComp Andy Petrie and EComp Mike Binsted. After the appointment of the officers, the Most Excellent Grand Superintendent went on to make an impassioned presentation on “Post Covid, the Way Forward”. There was a great atmosphere at the festive board with over 60 in attendance.
