The roadworks around Hull, particularly in the west of the city, led to unusually heavy traffic, causing a staggered arrival of Companions at Beverley Road. As a result, the start of the meeting was delayed by fifteen minutes to allow everyone time to arrive. What began as a disrupted and uncertain start soon transformed into an excellent evening.
Despite this slightly later start, the meeting was marked by a clear sense of commitment from the members of Technical Chapter. The quality of the ritual reaffirmed the Technical Chapter’s dedication to ritual as can be also seen in the Craft Lodge Ritual.

This evening’s ceremony was to exalt Dr Nanderkumar into the Technical Chapter. I have known Nanda for over 25 years, and I am sure Nanda will be an excellent Companion and a credit to the Chapter. The enactment of the Sojourners’ journey back from captivity and their eventual discovery was excellently performed. The story was narrated by E. Comp. Steve Berry in his role as Scribe E, providing clarity and context throughout. His narration guided us through the unfolding events and seamlessly connected the narrative to the ritual being performed.
All participants gave an exemplary performance which I am sure Companion Nanda will remember for some time to come.
