Richard Collyer Lodge No. 4905

April’s Richard Collyer Chapter meeting was used as a dress rehearsal for the Mid-Sussex Festival of Chapters two days later. 1st Principal Peter Frost will be Exalting a new Companion into the Fesival’s host Chapter, March and Darnley No. 1141, on Monday. So we demonstrated the ceremony today, as a dry run to iron out the final kinks in his performance.

David Fairhurst, Richard Collyer’s 2nd Principal, and Keith Sullivan, Principal Sojourner, will also be participating in the Festival. David will be Scribe N, and Keith is delivering the Historical Lecture.

Good luck to all the Chapters participating on Monday, especially M&D. We hope your candidate enjoys such a special welcome into Royal Arch Freemasonry.
