A new Chapter for the Kloosman Family
A wonderful meeting of Chough Chapter No 2264 at Mark Masons’ Hall was held on 6th May 2025 with a superb double Exaltation ceremony. The new Companions were the sons-in-law of E Comp George Kloosman, who performed the role as Principal Sojourner in a delightful ceremony. Also present were a number of visitors, including members of Ambrose Chapter, as the Chapters frequently support each other.
The Exaltation was delivered in an excellent manner with E Comps Mickey Hill and George Kloosman performing a lovely ceremony, ably assisted by E Comps Des Griffin and Colin Smith, who delivered an ‘Explanation of the Signs’ and Mystical Lecture respectively, assisted by the rest of the Companions. The new Companions, Mark and Matt, both enjoyed the ceremony, and it is also good to hear that they may have another son-in-law in the pipeline.
To conclude a wonderful afternoon, Metropolitan Grand Inspector E Comp Ian Burgess presented a Supreme Grand Chapter Certificate to Comp Tiago Hirt; and the subsequent Festive Board was undertaken in an equally convivial manner within Mark Masons’ Hall.
