On Friday 8th September, the Thames Schools Team may have been small in number, but the quality was incredibly high... Despite the heat in the Temple, Bro. Ashley Dunnicliffe of Marlow Bridge Lodge was Exalted in a superb ceremony conducted by MEZ Joel Nanton, very ably assisted by PS David Morgan - despite him nearly losing his voice.

The Second Provincial Grand Principal presented Ashley with his now famous BIG RED socks and his RAVC pack, and wished him all the enjoyment and Companionship that the Royal Arch has to offer.

BIG RED kicked off just a week previous and in that time, 10 candidates have been Exalted into Buckinghamshire Chapters.
