The Chapter of Dudley played host to the Second Provincial Grand Principal on his second swan song on 23 March . At the meeting the Second Provincial Grand Principal stood in as the Chapters Third Principal and took part in the installation of Comp Andy Gallagher as Joshua of the Chapter.

After the Installation ceremony the Companions enjoyed an interesting talk from Ex Comp David Edwards, PAGSoj,  entitled “ The future of our ritual and the future of Freemasonry” . It cenred mainly on the delivery of Ritual but also traced the nature and development of the esoteric and essence of Freemasonry. It was wide ranging and very well received.

 An enjoyable evening was had by all present and the Alms collection including the raffle monies are to be donated to the Ukranian Appeal..
