Officers 2026
The Installation Evening was held on 13th December 2024 in Kircubbin Masonic Centre. Ex Comp John Pyper, Immediate Past King, vacated the chair and V Ex Comp Sean Turner (Installing Officer) installed the newly elected Excellent King, Ex Comp Simon McKee. In turn the new Excellent King then installed the Officers of the Chapter.
There was a good turn out of Companions from not only the Chapter, but from District Grand Chapter and neighbouring Chapters within the District of Down and further afield. Afterwards, the Companions enjoyed a festive board finished of with some mince pies.
