Saturday 1st April 2023's Testing Event was very well attended, having been organised and manned by a number of Royal Arch Masons.
The event on Saturday was the final round in the latest PSA testing events put on by the Provincial Grand Chapter of Northamptonshire & Huntingdonshire. When this initiative was introduced, it was hoped that testing could be run bi-annually, however with the support of Provincial Grand Lodge and the introduction of a contribution from our members towards the cost of the tests, it is now possible to hold the testing events annually.
Overall 431 tests were carried out across the three events, with the results broken down as follows:-
Northampton: 141 Tests were carried out, the results of which were:- Green 137 Amber 0 and Red 4. According to the Graham Fulford trust the 4 in Northampton were “Very Red”
Peterborough: 149 Tests were carried out, the results of which were:- Green 141, Amber 5 and Red 3.
Corby: 141 Tests were carried out, the results of which were:- Green 137, Amber 2 and Red 2.
Whilst it is very encouraging that the majority of those tested had a Green results letter, it is hoped that those who received Amber or Red result letters are able to follow up with their own medical professionals quickly and effectively.
The Most Excellent Grand Superintendent, Jim Boughton is extremely proud of this initiative and would like to express his personal thanks to all of those Companions & Brethren that supported the events to make them run so smoothly.
