A wonderful evening last night at West Kent Chapter at Oakley House, Bromley, where E. & P. Bro Rexie Hermano enthroned his successor, E. & P. Bro Stephen Littler, as Most Wise Sovereign.![]()

Congratulations to Rexie on a very successful year in office, and my very best wishes to Stephen for the ensuing year. Stephen has been granted a dispensation to serve as Most Wise Sovereign of West Kent Chapter, a distinction which reflects both the confidence placed in him and the important role the Chapter plays within the life of the District.![]()

A lovely visit to Archbishop Courtenay Chapter at Wrotham yesterday evening for a Perfection ceremony, where we welcomed Naz Cesur as the District’s newest Prince 👑![]()

The ceremony was superb throughout.![]()

Congratulations to E. & P. Bro Brian Cooper for an excellent delivery of the Intermediate Degrees, and to Ill Bros Adrian Wagstaff and Peter Chapman for conducting the First Point so impressively. ‘Mo’ Morris, MWS, led the ceremony magnificently throughout and explained the Emblems and the Signs superbly 🌹![]()
![]()
A very special mention must go to E. & P. Bro Eddie King, who was perfected only in June and, having missed the September meeting, was attending only his second Rose Croix meeting. Acting as Raphael for the evening, the manner in which he conducted the Perfectee through the Second Point was simply outstanding and reflected the confidence and composure of an officer of many years. A fine example of how study and discipline can truly pay dividends. Brethren, it also shows the real value of Chapters of Improvement 🪜🌹❌![]()

It was also a pleasure to present E. & P. Bro Eddie with his 18° certificate during the evening 📜![]()

I was once again pleased to be invited to conduct the Accolade, introducing the Money Chapter ring to the candidate 💍, a tradition that dates back to the Chapter’s early days in Rawalpindi 🇵🇰 in the 1870s, and one which today quietly links the Chapters across our District.![]()

A thoroughly enjoyable evening in excellent company.![]()
