My first, and most important task is to express my very grateful thanks to each and every member who makes up our Province - for your support, encouragement and above all else your friendship and welcome - whenever and wherever.

Out of office but not out of life - out of sight but, hopefully, not out of mind.
Please continue your support and loyalty to this great Christian Order, continuing to take it ever forward and upward. All Preceptories have candidates in the pipeline and long may it continue to be so but don't get complacent and rest on your laurels.
Keep searching and encouraging - every new Royal Arch Companion is potentially a candidate for KT Masonry - keep the Precepts firmly in mind all the time.

Don't let the ritual be daunting, get involved as soon as you are able - share the work - share the load - share the experience - never be afraid to ask for help. My 'phone number is unchanged, as is my e-mail address. I guarantee a response and any help / guidance you ask for.

Thank you and may the Great Captain hold you in His care, as ever.
