Emmaus Preceptory Meeting
The September meeting of Emmaus Preceptory No 446 at Surbiton was a little different this year. Instead of hosting the Provincial Priory meeting with many Knights from across the Province attending there was just six of us.
The Preceptory was opened by the Acting Eminent Preceptor, V.Em.Kt. Chris Cradock, Provincial Chancellor, Past Provincial Sub Prior, and the Acting Chaplain, Em.Kt. Revd. Len Moreton, Provincial Prelate. V.Em.Kt. Chris thanked everyone for attending. The Eminent Preceptor was saluted with three by the Acting Marshal, Em.Kt. Chris Eley, Provincial Marshal.
The minutes were presented by the Registrar, Em.Kt. Garry Lewis, and confirmed by the Bro Knights. Em.Kt. Denis May was elected and proclaimed as Eminent Preceptor for a second year and the Officers were declared to continue in office for a further year.
The accounts were presented by the Treasurer, Em.Kt. Ron Brick. Em.Kt. David Thompson was declared Preceptor Elect for the year 2021-22 and Em.Kt. Ron Brick as Treasurer. RE.Kt. Michael Banbury was elected an Honorary Member of Emmaus Preceptory in recognition of his support for the Preceptory over many years. The sixth Knight present was Em.Kt. Tony Mullard who acted as Captain of Guards. Em.Kt. Tony was congratulated on his appointment in Great Priory to P.Gt.A.-de-C.
After the reports the Preceptory was closed.
A Priory of Malta was opened and Em.Kt. Denis May was proclaimed as Eminent Prior for a second year.
The Priory of Malta was then closed. Everyone said how good it was to get together again, even for such a short meeting.
