White Ensign RA Chapter No. 9169 10th Anniversary.
Tuesday 2nd December saw 27 Companions muster at Redditch for the 10th Installation Convocation of the Chapter. With the Presiding Officer, Michael D. Cox, accompanied by E. Comps. Ian M Fothergill as Acting 2nd Provincial Grand Principal, John M Phenix, the 3rd Grand Principal accompanied by E. Comp. Jeff W Whitely the Chapter was opened in due form.
E. Comp. Cedric Pagett, P.A.G.Soj., PPrGJ, was elected as an Honorary Member. Cedric has been the Chapter Guest Organist since it’s Consecration and it was only right and proper that his loyal service to the Chapter should be recognised in this way as we celebrated our 10th Anniversary.
The Founder DC, E. Comp. Ian A Hart, P.Pr.G.Soj., (Warks) was Inducted as Z, and E. Comp. Frank Walters and Comp. Thomas A. Kennedy Installed as H and J respectively.
It proved to be an excellent Ceremonial occasion in keeping with the White Ensign traditions and the Meeting was followed by a superb Dinner on the Messdeck.
