Thistle & Rose Hosts A Superb Installation Meeting

A most enjoyable evening of Royal Arch Masonry was there for all that attended on Tuesday 11 October 2016 at Thistle & Rose Chapter's Installation Meeting which marked by the official visit of E Comp Mark Constant, the Third Provincial Grand Principal who was escorted by E Comp John Payne, Provincial Grand Director of Ceremonies.

E Comp David Docherty was installed as MEZ, E Comp Chris Goode as Haggai and E Comp Gordon Brown stood in as Joshua throughout the ceremony as E Comp Paul Seaton was unavoidably absent and will be installed at the next convocation.

The quality of the ritual throughout the evening was very high . The Robes and Sceptres were delivered in a memorable manner by E Comp Martin Dimmock, Comp John Wooding and E Comp Ken Rogers. E Comp Ken Marris also invested the Past Z, E Comp Graham Rodgers with his jewel. Finally, Comp James Milne was presented his Grand Chapter Certificate by E Comp Mark Constant.
