A Joint Convocation was held at Bolton Masonic Hall, under the Banner of Rectitude Holy Royal Arch Chapter, No 5197, on Wednesday 24th February 2016.

The Companions were especially pleased that the Third Provincial Grand Principal, EComp The Revd Donald K Pryce, PGStB, was able to attend, this being his last official duty before he retires after 11 years of service as the Third Principal. We all wish him well in his retirement.
This was also one of the last engagements of our own Western Area, Assistant to the Provincial Grand Principals, EComp David Thornton, PGStB, he has always been very approachable and a good example to us for the last six years, and we will miss him.
We also had the benefit of the attendance of EComp Thornton’s successor for the Western Area, EComp David Dunn, PProvGSwdB, who is to be appointed at Provincial Grand Chapter on the 17th March.
Within the presentation of “Who Do We Think We Are” all of the ten Holy Royal Arch Chapters of the Bolton & Farnworth District were represented. The 17 Companions from all of the Holy Royal Arch Chapters of the Bolton & Farnworth District undertook the presentation in an efficient manner.
