Another wonderful evening - and the after proceedings of Curry & Carols was as raucous as ever.
Great fun at C6818.

More happy pics of the maddest but most enjoyable Royal Arch Chapter in the Universe - Wolvesey 6818, meeting at Wi******er MC.
The usual mayhem at our annual themed dinner, this year it was “Pirates of the Caribbean” night.
The officers of Wolvesey Chapter 6818 first conducted an excellent triple Exaltation for Bros. Alexander, David and Timothy, adding in some explanatory pieces of the new H&IoW Savage Ritual.
Our third triple this year!😳
Then it was upstairs for a feast of jerk chicken, burgers, rice and plenty of ‘shanties’.
Aarrrgh!!!! 🦜☠️🦜☠️🦜☠️
It’s no wonder that this Chapter continues to flourish and grow, with such a band of fun-loving brigands!🫶

Last night was yet another wonderful Convocation of the Finest Royal Arch Chapter in the Universe - Wolvesey 6818.
We first balloted for two more Joining Members (successfully!).
Then followed the triple Exaltation of Bros Michael, Justin and Colin, expertly delivered by a plethora of Officers, under Aldersgate workings, thoroughly enjoyed by 50+ attendees.
Two more Candidates were proposed, followed by a sumptuous and raucous dinner (as per our @!).
We look forward to an additional dispensation meeting and further “triple” in March (Weds 12th) and the notorious themed Festive Board at our May meeting (Weds 14th) - most likely to be a double ceremony. 🥳

The maddest night of the year, in Wolvesey Chapter C6818 (apart from May and all the other meetings!), saw Brothers Colin, Rodrigo and James become Companions of the Finest RA Chapter in the Universe.
A super-smooth triple Exaltation, conducted with expertise by our Past Principals - followed by Curry & Carols upstairs.
Well, for the sake of correctness, one “Carol” was all we had time for as WAY too much fun was being had and we simply ran out of time!!
However, the volume reached on the “12 Days of Christmas” equalled that of singing 5 or 6 beforehand.
Our visitors were suitably shocked/amused and an Extraordinary Meeting was declared for the 2nd Wednesday in March, to attempt to keep up with the queues of MM’s desperate to become Members, as we rapidly approach the ‘Magic 100’! 😱
That’s another 2 ‘Triples’ for next year already!!🫶❤️
We even had two Prodigal Sons announced, Re-Joining Members coming back to the fold in February.
They’ve clearly missed us and all the fun we have.
An open arms, all-embracing Chapter in which to continue your adventure, in the finest way possible. 🎈❤️🎄🎅🏻🎈

Footnote: The Saints’ hats far exceeded the Pompey ones!!
Well, they would, wouldn’t they??🥳😉🎅🏻😉🎅🏻🥳

Highlights come thick and fast at the Finest Royal Arch Chapter in the Wild Western Universe!

Around 70 were present to witness the Chapter host an Official Visit from E.Comp. Jonathan S-E (ProvDepGSupt) with his es**rt.
The Companions were treated to a superb Exaltation of Bro. Christos T, then saddled up, circled our wagons and hit the canteen for a feast of quality Wild West chow - BBQ chicken, burgers, sausages and, yes, BEANS!!
The charity raffle raised £295, including prizes of JD whiskey and bottles of hot BBQ sauce!

The pinnacle of the evening was reached when our MEZ, Chris S, presented the largest charitable donation in Wolvesey Chapter’s 68-year history, to the benefit of MEGS’s Charity - Southampton University Cancer Immunology Fund.
Cowboys really do have deep pockets!

Our visitors left on a real high, having experienced a fairly ‘normal’ 🥳 Wolvesey night of fun, vowing to return at the earliest possible opportunity.

Further applications for joining our happy posse were proposed during the meeting!

What’s not to “Yeeee-hawwwww”??!! 🤠🐎🤠🐎🤠🐎

A "Past Principals’ Evening" with E.Comps. Glyn E and Chris C sharing the MEZ’s hot seat, with their super-subs team showing that the 'old-timers' could still nail an Exaltation Ceremony, par excellence!

Brother, (now Companion), Harry P was treated to a superb experience in the Temple followed by a Festive Board of Middle Eastern tradition and magnitude😆 - "Curry & Carols"!

51 Companions dined in the most raucous fashion imaginable, for which the Chapter is now legendary!

As always the culmination was an increasingly messy rendition of the "Twelve Days of Christmas"
🎅🏼😱🎅🏼🤕🎅🏼😳🎅🏼 - the jumping up and down no doubt aiding the Comps' digestion!🤕🤕

Our next meeting is on Wednesday 14th February 2024. Another Exaltation, this one will be delivered by our current 'Z', Chris S with his new 2023/4 team.

Also proposed and seconded this evening were three further Candidates for 2024, taking the membership of this outstanding RA Chapter to the 90's, with over half on the permanent dining register!

Roll on February for another blast of Royal Arch Freemasonry!

A Great Day out!! 🌞 😎

10/05/2023

One of the highlights of the year unfolded at the Finest Royal Arch Chapter in the Wild West, or anywhere else in the Universe!
🤣🤠

But first, almost 60 Companions were treated to an excellent Exaltation by E.Comp. Glyn Evans and Officers - of his son Gareth.

We then saddled up, circled our wagons and hit the canteen for a feast of Michelin quality Wild West chow - chicken drumsticks, BBQ ribs, burgers&sausages and, yes, BEANS!!🤠

The charity raffle raised £145, with alms at over £90.
Cowboys really do have deep pockets!!

Our visitors left on a real high, having experienced a pretty ‘normal’ Wolvesey night 🥳🥳 and vowing to return at the earliest possible opportunity, most likely clasping their completed joining forms!!😉😉

Yee-haaaaaaa!
🤠🤠
