BIG RED 2 Now Complete
The Buckinghamshire Royal Arch membership event BIG RED 2 has just been completed.
It is the second time that the members, or Companions, of many Chapters across the Province have taken part in multiple Exaltations, which is the term used for the joining ceremony in the Royal Arch.
The ceremony is an essential part of Freemasonry where information thought to be lost at the end of the Craft’s Third Degree ceremony is dramatically rediscovered.
Membership of the Royal Arch qualifies a Mason to join other Companion Orders and thereby increase their knowledge of Freemasonry and to continue their Masonic Journey.
From the start of the event in January at Bourne End Chapter in Marlow to the end in March at Sunnymeads Chapter in Slough, there were 40 new members and joiners in 22 Chapters, giving a 2% increase of membership in just 3 months.
The Province of Buckinghamshire, under the inspirational leadership of the Grand Superintendent Graham Dearing, has a strong tradition of innovative initiatives such as BIG RED and ensures all meetings, known as Convocations, are fun for all the Companions.
The way the Buckinghamshire Province is thriving in all the separate Orders of Freemasonry and the huge amount of enjoyment felt by the members is a testament to all the hard work put in by everyone involved.
