the nine Chapters have completed and submitted these returns to the District G
Scribe E.
Following the approval from the Committee, an Order has been placed for the
replacement of the Three Principals’ Robes. These should have arrived in time
for the Annual Convocation. This acquisition will enable the retirement of the
robes used in Chapter Meetings that have become worn and threadbare.

and applications for Supreme Grand Chapter Certificates. Since the end of August
2010, five Registration forms have been received and five Grand Chapter
Certificates issued in the District.

Masonry in the District, by their attendance in significant numbers at meeting
of Chapters.
