This year Oakley Chapter 694 won the raffle organised by The Provincial Grand Chapter of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, the prize was a ceremony of Exaltation conducted by the Most Excellent Grand Superintendent (MEGS) Stephan Allum and his team. This event took place on 9th April at the Basingstoke Masonic Centre, and turned out to be very special indeed. We witnessed the first working of a new version of Exultation, based on the ‘Savage’ ritual, this turned out to be very engaging and informative. The Provincial Grand Master Jonathan Whitaker (who is a Past First Principal of Oakley Chapter) was in attendance. 58 dined at the After Proceedings, where MEGS presented the newly Exalted Companion with the cuff-links he had been wearing, which are unique, MEGS had them made for this occasion. A very memorable evening. ... See MoreSee Less
