On Wednesday 14th October, Companions gathered at Derby Chapter No.1055 at Radcliffe Masonic Hall to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of EComp Brian Sigsworth PGStdB, marking 50 years in Royal Arch Freemasonry.

Joining the celebration was the Assistant to the Provincial Grand Principals for the Western Area, EComp Stephen Holland PGStdB, accompanied by a Provincial Deputation. Their attendance brought recognition from across the Province to this significant milestone in Brian’s Masonic life.

A Golden Jubilee offers an opportunity to look back over the years since Exaltation and celebrate the friendships and shared experiences that make Chapter membership so rewarding. For Brian, the occasion marked half a century of belonging to the Royal Arch; for his fellow Companions, it was an opportunity to come together in his honour.

Such celebrations hold a special place in Chapter life, bringing together Companions whose own Royal Arch journeys span different generations. They offer a chance to recognise longstanding members while celebrating the companionship that continues to bring people together.

The Western Area extends its warmest congratulations to Brian on his Golden Jubilee, with every good wish for many more happy years in Royal Arch Freemasonry.
