E Comp John Moore as J.

E Comp Chris Birkett, a long standing visitor to the Chapter, was elected an Honorary Member.

The Chapter resolved to donate £400 from its Charitable funds to the Mozambique Flood Appeal.

Due to the change of date, it proved necessary to bring E Comp Mike Taylor, Past Deputy Grand Superintendent, out of retirement to preside with E Comp Rev Justin Parker acting as Provincial Second Grand Principal, E Comp Barry Griffin, the Provincial Third Grand Principal and E Comp Mike Hadden as DC.
