Tuesday 4th October 2022 saw the companions of Bernard Gilpin Chapter, who meet at the masonic hall in Hetton-le-Hole, celebrate 100 years of Royal Arch Masonry.  The chapter received a team visit by the Grand Superintendent John Thompson and a Deputation of Provincial Officers. E Comp Ron Smith delivered a very detailed and informative talk on Bernard Gilpin “the Man and the Chapter” which was well received by everyone. At the Festive board the companions each received a plaque, lapel pin badge as well as a booklet on Bernard Gilpin “the man and the Royal Arch Chapter”. A great night was enjoyed by all and a fitting way to celebrate Bernard Gilpin’s contribution to the community and the chapter.
