FOREWORD
Companions, as I enter my third year as your Provincial Scribe E I must once
again praise the efforts of the Provincial office team. I cannot over esteem their
effort, dedication and loyalty, all of which ensures the Province as a whole is
projected in the highest of standards.
Once again the Scribes E of Chapters are, with few exceptions, conscientious in
submitting summonses and returns. This greatly assists the office in processing
the large amount of varied correspondence we receive during the year. I am again
grateful to those that fall within this category and once again look forward to the
continued high standards they have set themselves.
The Provincial Office is manned most days on a voluntary basis and we are there
to answer your questions and assist; that said a number of answers to your
question can be readily found in the Book of Constitutions, this Year Book and
the Scribes E handbook. I would ask any new Scribe E or those who think they
may need a refresher to contact the office where I or my Deputy will happily
arrange a one to one tutorial.
The Annual Convocation in May 2014 was a resounding success; a product of
meticulous planning by the office team and the ceremonial side; the latter ably led
by the Provincial Grand Director of Ceremonies and assisted by his team.
We are again indebted to the Stewards Chapter. As I have mentioned on previous
occasions the Stewards are an indispensable part of our logistical set up. My
congratulations and thanks to them all and indeed all those dedicated Companions
who assisted in the planning and execution of the day.
2013 celebrated the Bicentenary of the official recognition of Royal Arch
Masonry. Surrey supported an appeal by our Most Excellent Grand
Superintendent to raise funds for the Research Fellowship scheme of the Royal
College of Surgeons and raised just under £60,000 towards the total of £2.5
million.
Our attention is now focused on the 2019 Festival; I am sure you will once again
support our MEGS and Province in reaching the target of £3.25 million for the
RMBI. (Remember we have two homes within our Province).
The Deputy Grand Superintendent and the Principals will continue to visit a large
number of Chapters every Masonic year with the intention of visiting every
Chapter at least once in every four years; this includes many anniversaries and
presentations of 50 and 60 year certificates. They and the Most Excellent Grand
Superintendent also have the pleasure (together with myself or the ProvDepGSE)
of visiting a number of other Provinces’ Annual Convocations. If a Chapter does
not fall within a ‘Chain Visit’ this year they will receive a visit from one of our
hard working Official Visitors. It is hoped that this system will enable the
Executive to keep Chapters abreast of Provincial strategy and enable Chapters to
feed back their ideas and concerns.
1
A change to the visiting procedure this year in that the Assistants to Principals
will no longer be allocated Chapters but instead will select Chapters to visit and
will endeavour to visit all the Chapters within their group within their normal four
years of tenure.
Each Principal will have two Assistants working to him and each Assistant will
have five Official Visitors.
Chapters will be grouped accordingly under this system using the titles; Man, Ox,
Lion and Eagle groups for ease of administration and to give them a corporate
identity.
Acting officers of the year will once again be invited (at their own expense) to
accompany the Principals or the Deputy Grand Superintendent on visits as this
has proved very popular with the Officers and Chapters alike.
Chapter membership is again at the forefront of the Executive meetings. Chapters
continue to close which is sad but a large number of Exaltations are still taking
place. The majority of Companions involved with Chapters that are handing back
their Charter are staying in the family of Royal Arch by joining another Chapter
or by continuing to support other Chapters they are already members of. As I
mentioned last year; if we wish resurgence we must all be part of it. Take every
opportunity to promote the Royal Arch. There are at the time of writing 6,805
Craft Masons in Surrey of which only 2,435 are Royal Arch Masons. Please feel
free to use the Frequently Asked Question sheet, which has been distributed to
Lodge Royal Arch Representatives to assist. This is also available on the Web
Site and will hopefully be useful when approaching potential candidates.
My congratulations go to those Companions who were honoured with Supreme
Grand Chapter or Provincial Grand Rank this year. As always I paraphrase our
Most Excellent Grand Superintendent’s words ‘The honour is not just given for
past service but for what it is hoped you will do in the future’.
I wish you all an enjoyable summer. The Executive, the Provincial office team
and all those I mentioned in the opening paragraphs look forward to helping you
take your Province forward during the new Masonic year.
