On Friday the 21st of April, Buckinghamshire First Principals Chapter, held a meeting of the Chapter at Bletchley Masonic Hall, Bletchley. The meeting was very well attended, including our Provincial Grand Master, John Clark and our Most Excellent Grand Superintendent Graham Dearing who are both members, along with Honored guests from other Provinces First Principals Chapters.

The highlight of the meeting was a wonderful lecture by E Comp Nick Wilson on "The Twelve Tribes of Israel" using the Chapter's banners and furniture, the lecture was informative, very well researched and presented by Nick. The companions showed their appreciation, well done Nick.

Our Deputy Grand Superintendent Phil Blacklaw then updated everyone on the excellent progress of "BIG RED SEPTEMBER". All Buckinghamshires Chapters will be Exalting at least one new additional Companion in September, an amazing achievement for Buckinghamshire Royal Arch, which continues to thrive and go from strength to strength.
