2021 PROVINCIAL MEETINGS POSTPONED
from the Provincial Grand Secretary/Scribe Ezra
After careful consideration and taking into account the current restrictions and ongoing consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, the RW Provincial Grand Master / Most Excellent Grand Superintendent has taken a decision to postpone the annual meetings of Provincial Grand Lodge and Provincial Grand Chapter which were due to be held on Saturday 27th March 2021.
As you are no doubt aware, detailed planning for these meetings commences several months in advance and for a March meeting this would need to progress in earnest at the commencement of the New Year. It is clear that a March meeting is unlikely to be permissible in its usual format if at all and it is the heartfelt wish of the RW PGM / MEGS that as many as possible of the Brethren and Companions Appointed and Promoted are present at the meetings in order that they can be formally Invested. He has therefore taken the decision to move the meeting to a date when it is hoped that the effects of a vaccine together with a seasonal reduction in infections mean that full meetings can take place at the usual venue without the current restrictions.
The RW PGM / MEGS is therefore pleased to announce that a rescheduled Convocation of Provincial Grand Chapter and Annual Communication of Provincial Grand Lodge will now take place at Harper Adams University on Saturday 24th July 2021.
(Secretaries and Scribes E, would you please see that this message is forwarded to all members with a request that they place this date in their diaries in the hope of a return to ‘business as usual’ with a bumper meeting planned where officers for 2020 and 2021 will be invested.)
