16 Companions assembled at Kings Heath for the Installation Convocation of the Chapter.

The Provincial Team was led by the Deputy Grand Superintendent E. Comp. Michael D Cox, PAGSoj accompanied by the 2nd and 3rd Provincial Grand Principals E. Comps John Yeates, PGStB and Barry Griffin, PGStB, ably directed by E. Comp. David Shrimpton, ProvDepDC.

Unfortunately the Incoming Third Principal was absent due to his awaiting a hip operation and the 3 newest Companions were unforuunately absent so they could not be presented with their SGC's.

The Chapter is very enthusiastic with a strong team of Past Principals but, like many others, is in need of Candidates to ensure the new Principals and their Officers have an Exaltation Cdremony to perform.
