CHAPTER MEETINGS
Update 5th March 2021
1. Lifting of Restrictions
Following the recent Government announcement.
The Province remains in suspension following the notice in Bulletin 16 on 2nd December 2020 (including the Isle of Wight), however subject to any unforeseen changes in Government policy, we expect the following timetable to apply to Chapter openings:
From not earlier than 17th May, we are allowed to meet indoors following the rule of 6. This means from this step we can resume meetings and dinners (under the rule of 6).
From not earlier than 21st June, all COVID restrictions are removed. This means that normal meetings and dinners may resume without any restrictions.
The Deputy Provincial Grand Masters in Charge for both Craft and Royal Arch, under their implied powers, will therefore lift the suspension from 17th May to allow meetings within the above government guidelines.
