Some 15 Companions came together at Newfields, Halesowen, to celebrate another year in this Chapters fine History.

Unfortunately a number of the Members are currently either in Sick Bay or on Medical leave but those present ensured that the Chapter carried out the Installation/Induction of the Principals in a very workmanlike fashion.

The Provincial Team, led by E. Comp. John Yeates, PGStB, Prov 2nd Grand Principal, was ably assisted by  E. Comps Ian Fothergill, PGStB, PPrGJ and Derek Owen,PGStB, PPrGJ acting as Second and Third Provincial Grand Principals, and escorted by E. Comp. Paul Webber ProvADC.

On conclusion of the Convocation the Companions retired to a very good Festive Board, where some £75.00 was collected for the ProvRACharity Fund.
