South Wales Hosts Annual Scarlet Cord & O.S.M. Double Header

On Saturday, 3 May South Wales held their annual ‘double header’ of Scarlet Cord & O.S.M. meetings. Both under the eagle eye of Allan Jones the Provincial Grand Supreme Ruler/Provincial Grand Summus.

The brethren were treated with bacon or sausage rolls & a hot drink on their arrival at Penarth Masonic Centre. The day kicked off with Provincial Grand Senatus where the assembled brethren were treated with the presence of the Assistant Grand Summus Howard Markham. A number of Provincial Grand Summi attended to support Allan.

Being a progressive & modern order Chat GTP took a different take on the assembled Rulers, The second meeting again the Brethern had the treat of the Deputy Grand Supreme Ruler attending, R.Wy.Bro. Keith Ferguson who was is the Past Supremer Ruler for South Wales. Sadly no pictures of Keith, but the Deputy Provincial Grand Supreme Rulers were in attendance & in good spirits.

The Scarlet Cord Greek Odyssey Continues…The Acropolis Consistory No. 163

It was a bumper day in Athens as the Scarlet Cord Grand Team performed a Preparation Ceremony for 9 Companions followed by the Consecration of the newest Consistory in the Order ‘The Acropolis Consistory No. 163’. A wonderful Oration was given by R.Dist.Comp. Charles Aspinal covering the aspects of the Order and the background to the name of the New Consistory in particular.

Again making the ceremonies extra special was the make up of the teams featuring Companions of all ages and across a number of Counties and Continents. The establishment of the Grecian Pillars of this new Consistory has placed firm roots for the Order here in Greece and we have already been told our services will be required next year when they will form another Consistory in Zante.
