12 Members of the Chapter together with 3 Visitors and the Provincial Team under the leadership of E. Comp. Michael D. Cox, PGSwdB, met at their newly refurbished masonic home, Newfields, Halesowen, to conduct the Installation and Induction of the Principals and the Appointment and Investiture of the Officers for the forthcoming year.
The MEZ, E. Comp, Mark Stevens, continued under Dispensation in Office for a third year.
For a number of reasons the Chapter has suffered through loss of Members over the last 5 years but they are committed and determined to rebuild and indeed have two Candidates in the pipeline.
