Bethel Chapter Rose Croix No.290, based at Ashday Lea Masonic Hall in Rawtenstall, was again in the happy position of having a Candidate at their meeting on Saturday 13th February 2016, making this the third consecutive meeting with a Candidate.
E&P Bro Ian Schofield was Perfected in a fine manner by the Sovereign and officers of the Chapter, after E&P Bro Andrew Braithwaite of Canon Francis Paton-Williams Chapter had been admitted as a joining member and taken up his post at the organ to provide harmony during the meeting.
Following the Perfection of E&P Bro Ian Schofield, the Most Wise Sovereign, our Past Inspector General V. Ill. Bro David Boiuc Hawkins 33°, proceeded to Enthrone his successor, Ill. Bro Peter Hold 32°. To round off a ‘perfect’ afternoon, there was a proposal for a rejoining member, further proof that this distinguished Chapter is well on the road to a sustained recovery after several difficult years.
