Hello Brethren or hopefully soon to be Companions.
Why would you join Leigh Chapter No 887 meeting at Severn Street Birmingham above the other eminent Chapters in the Province. We meet on the first Friday in January, September, November and the 3rd Friday in April {Installation}
Let me give you one or two suggestions.
We are now 102 years old having celebrated our Centenary in 2019.
We have 2 Past Grand Superintendents along with our current Grand Superintendent, The Most Excellent Companion Philip Hall, who of course is also our Provincial Grand Master, as Honorary members.
